I just want to know from the rulebook if a forearm is legal or not for the purposes of just maintaining position. It sounds like it is reffed differently throughout the nation. I am going to ask my assignor next time I see him and see what he says, so I can make sure I am, in fact, in Rome. Cause its possible I am in the suburbs of it.

Sigh....

As posted on this forum before, several times....taken from the same and other NFHS POE's:

"USE OF A FOREARM, REGARDLESS OF THE DURATION OF THE CONTACT, IS A FOUL!"

That is a direct cite from the NFHS 2003-04 rule book.

The usage of a forearm under NFHS rules is NEVER legal under ANY circumstances.
