In a blowout game its often fun to see if you can mess their cheers up by standing right where they move their arms for their cheer. That and its always fun to step on them when backing up. :/

Sure we can. I don't have the guide. They have one at the rec center were I occasionally help out at and I looked specifically for the rule and found it. But the quotes came from a thread on the NFHS board, where a cheer coach posted who has the book. Here's a link to the thread, just for you.

I just about got one last night.... I was in full sprint in transition from trail to lead after a steal leading to a fast break. She was standing right on the sideline & I just caught a glimpse of her in my peripheral vision and managed to dodge around her at the last second - missed her by maybe 1/4 inch. As soon as I could, I talked with the head cheerleader and asked her to please keep her squad at least one foot behind the sideline at all times when the ball was in play.

There is no considering here, they ARE artificial noise makers. They don't make noise on their own, you need to smack them together to make noise and artificial noise makers are prohibited.

Not that anyone in their right mind would actually ever give a sh*t( ), but aren't the two words interchangeable?

I've never seen the 'spirit' book either. But, in Alabama, the rules, as we've been told by our association president, stipulate that cheerleaders must remain in the bleachers during all live ball situations and 30 second timeouts.

If they are on the bottom row of bleachers, they must remained seated during live balls. If they are in the second row and up, they are allowed to stand and cheer at any time.

They are allowed to come on the floor during full timeouts and in between quarters.

There are a few squads around here that will send a couple of their members to the floor (end of bleachers, well out of the way of the court) when their team is shooting free throws. If they make the free throws, they will do a jump or something. As long as they stay out of our way, most of our officials won't say anything.

Our feeling is, if they want us to enforce it, they should either give us the spirit book or put it in the NFHS rule book.

I accidentally hit a cheerleader once.

I was the trail when A1 was dribbling the ball in his backcourt near the division line. B1 stole the ball. I transitioned back to lead and ran to the endline, with B1 who now has the ball. A1 ran back on defense and fouled him. I was near the endline when up goes the fist right into the cheerleaders cheek. And by cheek, I do mean the side of her face. She laughed about it for the next 5/10 minutes.

Does an artifical voice box count as illegal?

Only if the person using said voice box is wearing the number "00."

I hit a cheerleaders cheek once and I don't mean the one on her face. I was standing there watching the pregame warmups when I put my leg behind me to stretch my quad. It just so happen that a chearleader was standing directly behind me with her back to me. I stuck my foot right up her backside! Needless to say she was embaressed and I decided it was a good time to quit stretching!
