too many quarters in one night

If a player participated in a fifth quarter he was charged with a Flagrant TF (game report to Columbus), the OhioHSAA considered that as playing in two games in one day, and he was ineligible for post-season competition.

Wow, Mark! You really do go back aways. I don't remember any of that stuff at all. I have gotten a lot younger though (16 years old now) since I converted to centigrade.
I'll be getting my drivers license soon so my wife won't have to drive me to all my games.

BillyU2:

ROFLMAO

And now for a second history lesson.

If one reads the NFHS Basketball Rules, one sees that the Coaching Box is actually by StateHSAA adoption. In reality, NFHS Rules are really a "Seat Belt Rule" for lack of a better description.

The NBCUSC adopted the "seat belt rule" for the 1970-71 (remember, back then the NBCUSC wrote the rules for both boys'/girls' and men's college; the same set of rules for all three levels except for length of periods) season, there was no provision for a Coaching Box. That meant, everybody had to keep their tushes glued to the bench; for all intents and purposes the rule was ignored at the college level.

When the NBCUSC adpopted the "Seat Belt Rule" the OhioHSAA adopted provisions that made the rule even stricter than the NBCUS adoption; I won't go into detail because the definition of Live and Dead Ball were different than they are now.

That said, the OhioHSAA also added paper work to the rule, any time a Head Coach (JrHS, FR, JV, or VAR) received a TF violation of the "Seat Belt Rule" the calling official had to complete and file an OhioHSAA Coach's Bench Rule Report Form with the OhioHSAA and the Head Coach's school.

Ah, those were the days.
