Coaching Box - extending from 14' max

[tjones1]

May require a little search by someone who has the yearly proposals...

I am wondering when the last time a rule proposal was submitted to the committee that basically proposed the rule be changed to the NCAA rule?

Appears IL may be submitting a proposal at the end of the year to do just that... just curious.

Not sure it will be approved; however, I'm in favor of it.

Illinois is not a full NFHS state. Whether or not they make that proposal or not and the adoption or lack thereof would make little difference here. If the IHSA wants to use a wider coaches box they would just dictate that to the officials, inform the schools, and that would be the policy here.


Based on the IHSA actions and emphasis on coaches box this season, I don't think they would be asking for a bigger coaches box anyway. Sounds more like something the coaches or athletic directors will be requesting of the IHSA.

Could be; however, it says they (coaches) are working with the IHSA Advisory Board to create a proposal to NFHS.

Illinois is not a full NFHS state because they do not pay fees for the officials (Insurance and membership). My understanding this has nothing to do with voting for rules or being represented on committees. So that means they follow all NF rules for the most part. If they just decide to do something different with the coaching box, that would likely jeopardize their status to vote for things in NF committees. And based on what I have heard from IHSA people, they are not willing to do such a thing.

I'd be in favor of it, too.
