Officiating the Big Fellas

[JCrow]

There's no Knee-to-Butt under NFHS Rules. A player may not use his arms or legs to restrict an opponent's movement.

A suggestion: Formally establish what Rules your League plays under. NBA Rules (which all the guys watch) are wildly different than NFHS Rules. Personally, I'd use the NFHS Rules as a Benchmark as they are more restrictive of hard contact. (i.e., No bent elbow in the small of the back.)
