Because that's how you keep stupid people from enforcing stupid things that aren't in the rules.

And that's how mouthy officials end up being dropped from conferences.

And I'm guessing I have more experience with that notion than you do!

This exact discussion came up in our local HS study session last week.
We have submitted the question to our state rep on the NFHS rules committee for an answer.
When we hear back from him, I'll let all of you know his response.
We may see a formal ruling from the NFHS on this manner in the very near future.

Taking this a step farther...
If the adjacent players are "arm wrestling" and there is contact...is it a foul or a violation?

Depends on who wins? and are we playing Alabama rules or Russian Submission?

MS girls game this was happening. My partner and I started game out talking in lane telling girls "no hands" etc to try and put a stop to this. Then we remembered it was MS girls game.

So, the next time it happened and they were wrangling - partner calls a double foul. Amazingly both coaches smiled and one thanked him. Said he's tried talking to them till his tongue swelled up but they won't listen.

Went to AP. Didn't have a problem like that the rest of the game.

Why the AP? I assume this happened while A1 had the ball -- so the POI would be still the FT.
