For your thoughts

Mark, how would the flagrant T work?

How would it be proven that Red #14 had played more than his allowed number of quarters? What if coach A said B was illegal, but coach B said B was legal?

This is why I prefer eligibility rules to be left up to the "home office," as David Letterman would say.

First, there are not too many freshmen, jr. varsity, varsity tripleheaders. But, jr. varsity-varsity doubleheaders are the norm. You have the same scorekeeper for both games, and the scorekeepers keep track of the quarters the players played in the jr. varsity game and make a notation by their names in the varsity scorebook. In 31 years of officiating I have never had a player play more quarters than he/she was allowed, and I have never heard of it happening. That is not to say that it has not happened, I just have never had it happen to me (knock on wood) and have never heard of it happening.

Mark I think you are missing the point here.
If the team is to improve it is wise for a coach to attempt to get his players as many quarters as possible in a night. In my example the player has five quarters in a night, if the team needs this player in the first second or third quarter then he goes in then. It happens all the time, when he finishes the quarter the coach reminds the player "dont let me put you in again" There is no rule that states he cant sit on the bench front row or second row. He must be in the book to play.
In Kansas this happens all the time--- sorry but I am real sure on this one.

I am not missing any point. The OhioHSAA determines the number of quarters in a day and a regular season that a player can play. In Kansas, it may be different. The original posting had nothing to do with number of quarters played. If the team had eligible players then a substitute has to enter the game.
