NFHS New Rules are posted

[Old School]

The adjustments made with the warning horns seems ridiculous to me. Way too much time spent in that area. I say there are bigger fish to fry in the rules then this one.

Spreading the arms is good because when I did it before, I was chastised for using college mechanics in a HS game, even though no harm was done and it conveyed information, it was still viewed as wrong. Now, it is apart of the mechanic, this is a very good thing. Another thing, in college, I seldom used this mechanic so my bet is it will be the same at a HS game.

So, the way I read your post...you knowingly use a college-only mechanic in HS games and then say you seldom use it in college games? Do you institute a shot clock at your HS games too?

The general theme of many of the rules was to become like college rules/mechanics -- warning horn on 30 sec. TOs to 15, spread eagle mechanic. Does anyone thing that what is posted on the NFHS site, re: the warning sound for subs at 5 after a DQ is a typo?

The college rule is a horn at 15 and 20 -- Rule 4-17-5 -- the way the new rules seem, it would seem to me that the NF would want this to be in effect, not a horn at 5 and 20.

Thoughts?

I'm going to start using signals to indicate why I'm not calling every possible call. I've always wanted to look like a mime - NOT!!!!!

Or as Borat would say "I've always wanted to NOT!!!!! look like a mime".

No, I think that the NFHS did this on purpose. Now all warning horns are sounded 15 seconds prior to the end of the interval. Go take a look at my previous post in this thread.

From the NFHS press release of May 7, 2007:

"The final revision approved by the committee was changing the warning horn for a 30-second time-out to be sounded with 15 seconds remaining. This change makes all warning horns uniform for intermissions, time-outs and the disqualified player interval."

Just wondering..... what states other than ours use the shot clock for girls and boys? We use college rules governing the shot clock except for the newer kicked ball violation -- in hs it is still reset on any kicked ball.

Actually, there is a shot clock in VA on the girls side of the Independent School League (Northern VA, DC & MD).

There are only SEVEN states that use a shot clock in either girls or boys HS play.

See corrections above.

Also, what's with not listing the states? Is this a Jeopardy! clue??

In NY, Boys use NFHS with a shot clock.

Girls use NCAA W
