It's tough being a rookie

Just like in Baseball, their is restrictions that each state may have on how many innings a pitcher can pitch. It is not the umpires role to enforce this in any way. It is the coaches and opposing coaches to make sure these rules are followed. You have no way of know who did what and when they played, because in Illinois, it is a quarter rule. I have no way of knowing how many quarters a player has played all year and I would not know either. If a rule is violated, believe me schools will tell on each other, and if they do not it affects them not you. We are responsible for the rules within the confines of the game, not what goes on outside of it.
