Peace

Think about it - do you want me teaching?...

Btw, are they the actual 2009-2010 books? I thought the Fed. was only printing books every 2 years? Or is the IHSA only sending us books every 2 years?

We got 2009-10 books in Ohio.

You can download the new books at the NFHS website (if you're a member). Eventually that will be the only way to get them.

Yep.

No the IHSA wanted to save expenses and just mail them out bi-yearly. And the NF is thinking seriously about not having rules changes except for every 2 years anyway. The NF is still producing books, but look at the changes we have had this year? We have one change and we are not even using the change in Illinois anyway.

Just ran a program to compare last years rule book to this years (gotta love having the books in PDF format).

The only other differences I found were the change in term from bench area to time out area, and a clarification in rule 4-19-13:
ART. 13 . . . A team foul is any personal foul or technical foul (except indirect
technical fouls) which is charged to either team. All team fouls are counted to reach the bonus free throw.

They added the part about indirects.

Thanks. Can you do the same with the case books?

For all the sports in the forum?

Padgett might ask for croquet as well -- just ignore him.

Unfortunately, last years posted casebook was a scan of the book, and not a full fledged PDF file so it can't be compared.

Wow! I didn't know that Adobe had that feature. I'm checking out the casebook as we speak. I'll let you all know

I'm shocked but every major change is noted

The only change I noted in the comparison is that "Horn", "The final horn sounds", etc is changed to "signal", "Expiration of time", etc to align with the addition of the rules change concerning the use of an LED light for the expiration of time.

"1-14; 5-6-2 When a red light behind the backboard or an LED light on the
backboard is present, it is permitted to signal the expiration of
time in the quarter/extra period. If no red/LED light is present, the
audible timer’s signal will continue to signal the expiration of time."

Learned something new today. I didn't realize that Adobe had the feature to compare documents. Too bad it doesn't do it well for "secured documents". Had to work around that feature
