Connecticut is often referred to as "The Land Of Steady Habits". There's got to be some underlying reason for this title.

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.

Maybe it's just me but...aren't these rule changes as opposed to editorial changes? Editorial, to me, means the rule is rewritten to add some clarity or correct a typo from the previous rule book. What I'm seeing here is a change in the rules themselves.

Yes, of course they are, but as has been pointed out on this forum many times, the NFHS doesn't operate in a competent or logical manner.

In fact, the labeling of the rules and editorial changes are actually reversed in the NFHS announcement this year. Imagine that!

Did they somehow make this WORSE? A reasonable team member/coach/parent could read this and conclude sleeves/tights no longer need to be black, white, beige or the predominant color of the jersey UNLESS team members are wearing headbands/wristbands.

If you're not wearing bands (and I'd say most people don't), every color under the rainbow seems in play for sleeves/tights.

Am I missing something?

Usually it means:

"This is what we meant it to be last year when we changed it, but the person we assigned to write the new rule didn't understand that. So, now we're 'editting' it to make it what we really intended for it to be all along. (At least, that's what were telling you now because you don't know any better and we don't feel like admitting that we made a mistake in the first place.)"

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.

Officials Signal Chart and Officials Manual: Establish a signal to be used after a basket is made and there is a stoppage in play. The signal is used by the officials to indicate the team inbounding the ball may run the baseline. The signal will be executed by extending the arm laterally, bending the elbow at a 90-degree angle, moving the hand and forearm from the elbow in a waving motion horizontally along the end line. A new picture will need to be added to the signal chart.


So which one is it, baseline or end line?

Absolutely amazing that know one actually cares to edit a paragraph and use the correct terms.

No wonder there are so many different interpretations of the rules!!!

My 2nd camp ever ( 1989 ) I believe....Dallas Shirley jumped all over a bunch of us for using the term "baseline ".....from that point on I have always said end line... For you guys west of the Appalachian Mountains, there was no other like J. Dallas Shirley....considering he is in the HOF in Springfield it is END LINE. Case closed !!!!

Maybe a casebook-like interpretation will make this clearer?
