Was it really that bad?

Good goal for me. I'll give it my best shot.

Most regulars on this Forum know that I'm not a college official, but for any "lurkers", or new members, I try to always identify myself as such, and usually identify my comments as being only NFHS related.

I will sometimes comment on college situations (as I did in this thread) to gain a better understanding of college rules as I watch college games on television, or to "warn" those members who only do high school games (as myself) to avoid the pitfalls of confusing the two rule sets because the rules might not be the same. Also, many college rules are almost exactly the same as high school rules, making me think that I'm sometimes allowed to comment (while still being open to criticism for different college and high school interpretations of the same exact rule. i.e. college supervisor expectations).

This wouldn't be the first time some high school officials confused NFHS and NCAA rules (see backcourt deflection, backboard goaltending, etc.).
