NFHS View of Shot Clock

It's not unreasonable to require a minimal level of compliance to maintain full membership rights.

When Mary Struckoff was in her position with the NF, she came to our state and said that the NF does not care what mechanics states decide to use. And she gave an example of a certain state, which I am not going to not mention to offend anyone that wanted to do something very unique and the NF thought their mechanic was silly. But they did not care what they taught and it had nothing to do with membership. Mechanics books are guides and states can come up with their own procedures if they like towards mechanics. And as I have stated before, our state has not handed out Mechanics Manuals for almost a decade in any sport because what the NF does is considered outdated in many cases and hard to change. So when our state sees something that does not work, they change it to what does work.
