NFHS Survey

[tjones1]

It might have just came out. I usually get an e-mail telling me it's out.

Either way I took it.

I knew this question was going to be on there:
8. Improved communication between coaches and officials since the calling official remains tableside after a foul.

Guess what...we are going opposite next year.


For those who aren't members, here is the "Would you favor" section of the survey.

WOULD YOU FAVOR:

1. Having a team receive only one “team” technical foul for any and all illegal uniform design violations (currently it is a player technical foul for each starter and substitute entering the game with an illegal uniform).

2. Having the rules book define what constitutes a “dark” uniform.

3. Having any item that goes around the entire head (elastic strips/bands, pre-wrap, headbands, etc.) meet the same rule requirements regarding color uniformity (currently only the headband must meet those requirements)?

4. Having all hair-control devices and headbands (rubber bands, scrunchies, pre-wrap, etc.) meet the same rule requirements regarding color uniformity (currently there is no color restriction for hair-control devices).

5. During a free throw, moving all players up one space and leaving the two marked lane spaces closest to the end line vacant (currently spaces nearest the shooter are vacant).

6. During a throw-in, having an illegal screen or any foul by the throw-in team considered a team-control foul resulting in a throw-in to the offended team (currently free throws could be awarded if a team is in the bonus).

7. If not recognized immediately, having the penalty for an excessive time-out only permitted to be assessed within the correctable error timeframe (currently it can be penalized whenever it is discovered).

8. Having the penalty for an excessive time-out only assessed while being violated; once the ball becomes live, it’s too late to penalize.

9. If the defense commits an excessively swinging the elbows violation while a try is in flight, ignoring the violation if the try is successful.

10. Eliminating the resumption-of-play procedure (putting the ball down on the floor) and replacing it with a delay warning being issued to the offending team, with any subsequent delay – as with all delays – resulting in a technical foul.

11. Beginning an overtime period with a throw-in by the team entitled to the ball under the alternating-possession procedure.

12. Adding an additional signal to the signal chart for a hit to the head.

13. Adding an additional signal to the signal chart for hook/wrap.

14. Adding an additional signal to the signal chart for a trip.

15. Adding an additional signal to the signal chart for basket interference.

16. Adding an additional signal to the signal chart for an official’s accidental whistle.


We could end up having some interesting signals...
