Axiom to use?

[Uncle Ernie]

Hi Fellas,

I hope this makes sense...sorry for the long post

I normally try not to buy into phrases in which we say, "...everytime this happens...," or "...we do this in all instances..." The reason is becaues there is usually an exception somewhere that fouls it all up.

However, I may have come up with one. I wanted to put it out here and see if someone can shoot holes in it. This is for NFHS only. It has to do with trying to keep enforcement distances correct. Being an idiot, I always get messed up on whether it is 10 or 15 yards. That being said, here is what I came up with...

"...any foul that involves something below the waist is always 15 yards..."

For example - Blocking below the waist, chop blocks, clipping, illegal kicking, tripping are the ones I came up with and they all involve something below the waist.

What do you guys think?? Good way to remember distance enforcement for people??
