I just checked both the NFHS.org website and the NFHS Central Hub on ArbiterSports and this press release still is not posted on either website.

Congratulations for the OhioHSAA for getting this information out to its boys' and girls' officials.

I don't care myself. I'll simply call whatever the rules are. But let's not pretend he made it up out of thin air...it used to be a rule.

It had not been a rule like 10 years ago. It is not a rule at the other levels from what I can remember.

It was a rule up to when free throws were changed the last time. Don't care about other levels.

I get you do not care, but that is what influences other rules and current rules changes. If no other level has such a restriction, they might not care what the NF once had as the rule. I think the point was to mirror other levels as the NF was the only level that had such a rule that required all players a restriction until the ball hit the rim or was in the cylinder. And that is why I mentioned this, because the NCAA Men's side has no such restriction.

I'm curious to see if there are any unannounced mechanics changes associated with the new manual.

Sadly, local newswriters are acting like things have actually changed with respect to post players with the ball.

Am I missing something here? Weren't we all given an interpretation last year that said a ball handler was considered any player, including one in the post? This isn't a new rule, this is just new language being added to the book that is being passed off as a new rule.

There is nothing new from NFHS this year

Did you read post #27?

At least they didn't just do something for the sake of doing something.

Look at the bright side - no 'color of socks' rule at least!

The language in the release also doesn't make sense because NF doesn't define "post players" and the "lane area" in the rule book (NCAA defines both).

NF would also be wise to spend a few bucks on a proofreader.
