2023-24 NFHS Basketball Rules Questionnaire

I will say to anyone from the Federation who will listen...

Give us a flop warning. Don't think we need to go straight to a technical foul, since NFHS doesn't have Class A/B like college does, but it was as bad as I've ever seen this season.

And yes, I know it's in the rulebook that we can penalize "faking being fouled". This is just me talking, but I have never called it, nor have I had a partner call it. That said, as above, it was particularly bad this year and I probably should have called it at least once.

Just so we are aware, the NCAA does not have a flop warning anymore. They have a flop T. I am good with both, but we need more defined actions that should be adjudicated more than what we have know. People act like the NCAA just put in some wording about flopping and left it that. They clearly gave examples and procedures on how to follow that rule. The NF is just lazy when it comes to specifics when it is trends in the game. This is a trend that should be addressed somehow.

NCAAW has neither (yet).

Resetting the fouls at the end of each quarter is the best rule change NCAAW has made recently. I would support that for FED

I worry that the chance of correctable errors (failure to award a merited free throw) due to poor communication between the table and the officials would double.

NCAA probably has better personnel at the table than most high schools, and certainly has much better personnel at the table than every middle school, middle schools that often use student scorekeepers, and that often don't have scoreboards that show team fouls.
