Interesting changes...I agree I like the new mechanic as it gives information if used properly.

Before we know it high school rules will be the same as college....

Some thoughts:
1. All warning horns are now sounded 15 seconds prior to the end of the timed interval. 2. The wording change on an opponent "touching" a dribble codifies what we have previously allowed. 3. The legal touching to end a throw-in is going to have further ramifications. We'll have to wait and see if the timing rules are also going to be changed so that the clock starts when a throw-in is legally touched. Right now it starts when the ball is simply touched. 4. Whether we think that the adding of the NOT closely-guarded signal is good or bad, we can at least stop nitpicking its use by NFHS officials. 5. Good editorial clarifications: hard items in the hair are prohibited, screener must stay vertical and with feet shoulder width apart, adding deceitfully to the delaying returning after being legally OOB. 6. The Fashion Police strike again as "Uniforms" is the #1 POE. |
Yup, good to know that we have to be the fashion police as a POE. Isn't there more important stuff for us to worry about?

So now we have a player foul out and there will be a horn FIVE SECONDS after we start the clock? Wow.

That said - the first coach who "loses track" of time is going to get pissed and probably earn himself a second T along with a trip to the locker room. After that, every coach will be rushing someone to the table at the first horn. |

I envision this. A situation arises in which a timed interval is needed and the official instructs the timer to start the clock. Now we wait around until... BUZZ!!! Coach: "What was that for?" Official: "It means you've got fifteen seconds, coach." Coach: "Ok." |

Also understand that the NF tries to keep things as simple as possible when they create or change rules. Even when they adopt a college rule, the NF does not usually take on the entire rule. For example the Team Control Foul that was adopted 2 years ago did not take on all facets of the rule and still is not identical to how the college rule reads. Even POI is not the same as the NCAA Rule. They try to keep things simple so the rookie official to the 50 year veteran can handle the understanding. Not that it always works, but that appears to be their goal. Peace |
