We don't need no stinkin' new rules - or do we?

[Mark Padgett]

OK - now that the new NFHS rules have been posted for the 2007-2008 season, let's list the rules they SHOULD have changed.

I'll start with this one. Let's eliminate the term "intentional foul" and replace it with a "flagrant level one". The penalty would remain the same. We all know there are many times we call an intentional for excessive contact when there may not have been intent. I don't think there's anything wrong with making this call, but the terminology is confusing. We should go to the NBA rule of having level one and level two flagrants, with level two including ejection. It really wouldn't be a "rule" change, just a "terminology" change.

Others???
