NCAA Rules that NFHS or State Associations should try out?

At least that is not the case when many lower level games in my area are run by players on the varsity team that are required or paid to work a freshman game for a couple of hours, but is paying more attention to their cell phone than the game. I am sure the State Finals in your area has adults and possibly people who run the clock for the venue or has a more extensive background at the college or pro level.

Actually for the state tournament, it's a pool of people that ask to work the games that are table crew. If I hadn't of messed my leg up last year I would of been working the 1A State Tournament. For the 4A Regional Tournament I've done the past couple of years, the table personnel have been from the local high schools that asked if they could work the tournament. Same can be said for the state tournaments.

That's very true concerning during the season about table crews. The person that is timer/scoreboard for Varsity is being paid $35 a night (for 2 games). Whereas I'm volunteer (3 games a night). The difference is however I am continually learning & adapting to the new rules/regulations, whereas the person doing Varsity is still in the habit of using rules/regulations from 5-10 years ago.

The person that does the Varsity Games has been doing it since before I was in High School & before. However, from life experiences, not always are those that have been in the position the longest always the best for the job. Knowledge & the ability to learn should outrank experience. Just because a person plays the game (Varsity players doing Sub-Varsity table), is not always an advantage.
