However, last year's committee used it to actually change a rule by imparting their interpretation of a foot on the line regarding LGP. As you said, this is the most minimal set of changes for as long as I've been doing this. It seems they could reduce the frequency of changes to be bi-yearly and just increase the cost of the books to offset the income difference. |

It's like that rule change a year or two ago about pre-game activity in the center jump circle. We've had zero problem here in the Portland area, but somebody somewhere did have problesm, so they had to put it in there. I'm seeing this one the same way. |

This change is different in that it's something that could occur during the game. I'd imagine that someone, somewhere saw it. But, seems unlikely to me. |

Working girls' AAU this weekend, so I'm looking forward to putting the tableside switch into practice.
Did it during one tourney this year. The unusual thing is that under the old mechanic, the tableside C or T never switched. With the new mechanic, it's like the floor has been reversed. If you ever get opposite, you could swallow your whistle and stay in the rocking chair all game. |

But let us face it, the main reason this change was made was to make all levels the same. Mary Struckoff and others have experience or communications with NCAA Officials. Both the NCAA and NF Main Offices are both in Indianapolis. It has been common knowledge that both groups have communications. This is just a result of what has happen in the past 2 years. Peace

There are two differences:
#1 - In 3 man, the official calling the foul went opposite table after reporting. It made no sense for him to inform the coach, signal the timer, stand at the table, and wait for the sub when the tableside official was already standing there. #2 - A 5th foul situation is a little more volatile. A foul a coach doesn't like is one thing. A foul that a coach doesn't like that fouls out his star player is another. Since the calling official will now stay tableside, the old mechanic will be back. |

This past season, all coaches did was complain that they wanted an explaination, when their player fouled out. So they spent 10 seconds yelling at the non-calling about how the call was terrible and how they could not believe he called that. When I was the official that was the non-calling official, half the time I did not really see the play. I like the fact that you have to be a man and explain yourself. So what if they complain, that is what coaches do. But just because you were going opposite table, did not mean you could not tell the coach which player fouled out.
I told this story before, but the biggest problem I had was when I was the non-calling official and both my partner and I (3 man game) both had a whistle, which I thought was on the same player. Apparantly we had different calls and when my partner ran and did not inform me who the foul was on, the coach went ballistic on me. I also gave him wrong information, because my partner was scared to tell me what he had, because the coach intimidated him. Now if this happens again, he will have to stand up to the coach. This is why I like this change. Peace
