Hand Checking

[Tim Roden]

I am starting to get mixed signals on how we are to call handchecking this year. My rule book and the state are saying zero tolerance. At the same time the local clinics given to the new officials have been teaching the old tolerance for some minor handchecking as long as no advantage is gained. I want to know are we going to have to have a meeting like they had last year for the NCAA officials in order to get veterans to increase the calls? Also how is your area planning on calling it?
