See POE #5 in the 2000-01 NFHS rule book..."Acts that must be deemed intentional include when coach/player says 'watch, we're going to foul'. " If they said that, we were supposed to call an intentional foul on contact.

They then changed their minds on this a few years later.

Yep, looked for it but couldn't find it. I still use the Athletic Rules Study rule and case books as archives but some reason didn't have the 2004 version. I remember the original POE but somehow missed it when i looked back.

Eastshire, our state rep was the chairman of the rules committee during a portion of that time. That's how i know the 2005 POE was actually a clariication of what they had orignially intended. Between the meeting and the printing, it didn't get worded properly.

Then you're in a position to know. I just know what happened at my rules meeting and like you said there was a huge disconnect.
