Actually, the CER is not a NFHS jerry-rigged rule but one that pre-dates the NFHS and NCAA Rules Committees. The CER has been the same in both NFHS and NCAA (except for some simultaneous tweaking by both Rules Committees in either the late 1980's or early 1990's) since before the 1962-63 school year which means it goes back to the NBCUSC (National Basketball Committee of the United States and Canada) which is the precursor of the NFHS and NCAA Rules Committees.

To quote MTD, Jr. (aka known as MTDv2.0 in the Forums) and Andy (his younger brother) their "old man" has always been a "bald old geezer"!

The 2014-15 will be my 44th season officiating boys'/girls' H.S. basketball and I officiated women's college basketball from 1974 to 2008.

Six-on-six basketball?

No! That is still played by a small number of high schools in Iowa. Women's college basketball was playing five-man (five-person, LOL) basketball for years when I started officiating.

But my mother played H.S. basketball in Kansas in the late 1930's and they played six-on-six back then. She was a guard and only stayed in her team's defensive end of the court.
