no offense to anyone, but when was the last time Kentucky was an accurate barometer for what was going on in the rest of the country

I sometimes wonder how long it's going to be before a state like texas just starts adopting NCAA rules. w/o a shot clock.

I would be for it, not sure what they would do about NCAA-M vs NCAA-W rules and which ones to use though. If Texas is already using NCAA rules for football, it is probably just a matter of time before they follow suit in basketball.

in houston - theres enough division amongst the officials (those who work just W or just M that it could be possible.) but in the grand scheme of things - this could be dangerous.

After spending much of the last 6 years in Kentucky, I would think that anyone with any sense of self-awareness would agree the NFHS might not have picked the best state to represent the entire country. But how can we argue, we are just the officials that get to call the games and have to deal with the rules outcomes.


However, I have talked to many of my peers around this area and they support the players being moved to above the block on free-throws. I personally don't have an opinion on it though.
