Nah, don't give him that much credit. He only found it because I posted a link to it in the current thread about the most bizarre happenings in HS sports during the past year.

Yeah, I saw that after I posted this. Who'd have thought I'd need to read all the threads before posting on this one?

They handed out a sheet this year at the rules meetings in Missouri about protests. They are similar to baseball protests. I believe the coach has 10 minutes to produce proof that a rule has been misapplied. And yes, it must be about a rule, not about judgment calls.

I didn't know that MO did that!

Of course. Isn't Missouri the "Show Me The Rule State"?

No, it's not. But that's close.

Question: is there some sort of punishment for losing the appeal? IOW, if the rule book confirms the officials were correct, does the coach lose a TO or something?

The coach should be given the seat belt for the rest of the game.

And that would, under my proposed rule change, also come with the loss of his ability to request a TO.

Here's a couple more suggestions:

The HC is demoted to AC or better yet, CC (crowd control.)
The HC has to wear a dunce cap.
