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.

There's nothing new. Not a thing.

How can they make a claim like rebounding vioaltions are among the leading cause of injuries that are happening?

Did they commision a study?

Are they just asking people what they see and remember because most officials aren't going to know about a sprain or strain or contusion at the time it happens its going to be in the days following . . .

Or are they using an arbitrary statement like "among the leading causes" because they can't technically be wrong but don't have any valid evidence . ..

I don't mind making rebounding action a POE but I would like a rationale for anything to be a little more grounded in evidence then the information provided.

As I recall from seeing other releases on football and baseball, they indeed do have a long-standing and well-maintained injury database going back quite a few years. Now, of course, it's only as good as the input data but that would be true of any study.

Edited to add: Here's further information on the study...one of the sponsors is the CDC.

After I clicked on this link, I looked around the site and found a link to some old films from the 1930s that showed games from the Illinois state tournament. In the clip from 1933, it showed the Thornton HS team (Harvey, Illinois) playing for the state championship. They won, 14-13. One of the players shown on the Thornton team was sophomore Lou Boudreaux, who later became an MLB star, manager and radio announcer. Lou went to HS with my step-father and they were really good friends. I met Lou a few times.

The court shown had no center court line, had free throw lanes only six feet apart and those lanes with the circle on top looked like a keyhole, which is where the phrase "the key" came from (according to the movie). They also center jumped after every basket.

Oh yeah, the refs were wearing black and white striped shirts with light colored tan pants.

Oh thank goodness, for a second I was worried they weren't going to make editorial changes related to fashion police nonsense.

And yet the trainwreck that is Rule 9-9 still remains.

While train wreck occurs in 9-9, it's caused by the team control rule.

I used to be bothered by poor writing, but at some point I just let it go. Doesn't change a thing about how I officiate a game.
