Agree 100%.

In a perfect world, looking through rose colored glasses, the NFHS would always be perfect and would never do anything stupid (backcourt team control on throwin exception; points of emphasis never making it into the rulebook or casebook (swinging elbows contact); changing jump ball to alternating possession forgetting about many jump ball rules that are still needed with designated jumpers).

Don't hold your breath waiting.

Some Forum member should be able to contact a NFHS Grand Poobah who can help us out.

Just found this: ... to create an atmosphere of sporting behavior and fair play ...

I was using this same NFHS 2017-18 Rulebook Word Document to do searches and copy citations for a few years until I recently came across a NFHS 2019-20 Rulebook Word Document.

If anybody wants it, send me a private message with your "real" email address and I'll send it to you.

Per chance, anybody got a NFHS 2020-21 Rulebook Word Document or PDF?

I'm dealing with a NFHS 2016-17 Casebook Word Document to do searches and copy citations.

Anybody got a newer version of the casebook (PDF or Word)?

I already told you what my state people told us what to do. That is the only stance I will look for unless the NF wants to address this. Not many I know are trying to call a violation on the bench. IJS.

I have never espoused any philosophy other than "When in Rome ...".

We do things here in Connecticut that aren't 100% kosher by either NFHS or IAABO International standards.
