And we can now officially put an end to the most bemoaned rule in this forum's history:
An exception was approved to note that any player who was located in the backcourt may recover a ball that is deflected from the frontcourt by the defense.

I hope they just take on the rule from the NCAA and leave it at that. Now no more having to state, "That is not the NF Rule" to coaches or even other officials. Peace

I never really had an issue with this rule when it came to coaches. In the event that one did complain, it went something like this:
“But the ball was tipped!” “Yes, Coach, but your player was the last to touch it.” That almost always ended the dispute. That being said, I don’t really have any issue with this change. Deflection = anyone can touch it. Easy enough. Another year, another rules update without the shot clock. Just the way it should be. |

It's a solution in search of a problem at the high school level. It won't make bad basketball any better; it will just make it worse. You can't compare the high school level to higher levels on this issue. Most high school players (not to mention wreck ball players, where the leagues also use NFHS rules) are not playing at the next level, so quite frankly it's not the NFHS's job to prepare players for those levels. Also, there are enough bad tables at lower level colleges–you really want to add a shot clock into the responsibilities of already bad tables at the varsity level all the way down to wreck ball? I could go on. |

Administrators. No shot clock was proposed this year, but I wouldn't be surprised to see one coming in the next few years, once the old guard of administrators retire.
Why would administrators not want a shot clock? Money is one factor (ADs would have to pay for the shot clock, and would have to use a combination of state (or local) tax money and booster club money to do so), and change is another one. Administrators are used to basketball without a shot clock, so it is their normal. They may not know (or care) about basketball at other levels having a shot clock (and being better for it, IMO). Even if they do know, they may be uncomfortable "rocking the boat" to change high school basketball in their state, or nationally, unless there is enough demand from their state to make them feel uncomfortable. MD, NY, MA, CA, WA, DC, RI, ND, and SD have all had demands from coaches to adopt the shot clock, and have adopted it. IL, WI, and other states are considering it, as seen in news articles on the internet. I have been told by an anonymous source that officials and coaches on the NFHS committee are overwhelmingly in support of the shot clock, but administrators are against it. If the rules committee has significant membership changes, then it would not be surprising to see NFHS adopting a shot clock. In the meantime, keep sending proposals to your local state rules interpreters if you want shot clocks, changes to the bonus rule, etc. |

I think they may be just correcting the erroneous interpretation that has been out for a few years. A deflection by B that goes directly to A who is already in the backcourt shouldn't have ever been considered a violation but someone on the committee that is apparently ESL thought it was. Now they're changing a rule to mean what it always meant.

Completely unnecessary...will make more games worse than it will make better.

I am cautious that we do not know what is official until we see the final rule (Someone said it takes the NF 3 years to get a rule right), but they seemed to take the NCAA language in describing the rule change. Because if they are trying to advocate a previous mistake, then they could do that editorially, not with a rules change. Time will ultimately tell. You certainly gave me pause, but I do not see how this is not the NCAA change that was made last year? Peace
