Minnesota to Enforce Rules
In what may seem like a "shoot yourself in the foot" move to some, and an "It's about time" move to others, in an effort to reduce rough play, the MSHSL has decided to ask officials and coaches to play by the rules.

BTW - read the story requiring coaches to attend a rules meeting and take (AND PASS!) a rules test. Right on!

It's ridiculous. As though in the past we haven't been calling "by the rules". It's not a question of "playing by the rules". It's strictly up to agreeing on a common interpretation. The problem is getting coaches to teach their kids to acknowledge their own weaknesses, and learn to play cleaner. Nothing officials do or don't do can change the coaches plans. THey have to do it themselves.

The main points of emphasis are no armbars, and no hands allowed. If you have your forearm away from your body, and make contact with your opponent, it's an automatic foul (offensive or defensive). For hands, it's called touch and play. You can use your hand to "find" your opponent, then they must come off. Hands on the opponent after the initial touch is automatic foul. I've called a few games this year, and the kids pick up on how you call it fairly quickly (most of the time). I talked with an official that called a game with as many as 68 fouls, and one with only 4 total fouls on one team. So, if the coach can teach his kids to play proper defense, his team will be fine. |

... guidelines are explained in detail on an audio slide show posted on the MSHSL website (www.mshsl.org). Merkle, who provides the narration, stresses what must be called: "Coaches, you must understand these guidelines and teach them to your players. Officials, you must call the game using these guidelines. This is not optional nor is it up to individual interpretation." How can you not have individual interpretation? Does a bell ring when there is a foul?
