It is that time of year again when we can reflect on all that has happened over the last few months.
What new rules do you think the NF should implement?

1)Uncatchable passes. Model rule after NCAA. This year's change was a start, let's get it RIGHT. I abhore throwing a flag when a DB contacts a receiver and the ball is 8 feet over the kid's head.
2)I'd change NFHS Int.Grounding rule to the NCAA rule to help protect young QBs (allow them to throw it away without getting killed) 3)POE on jewelry - especially the "Livestrong" bracelets that all of these kids think they can wear. Those are the first 3 that come to my mind.

I don't know if there needs to be any rules changes but we sure need a new "rules book". By the time it takes to find the information needed know the rule, understand it correctly, go to the case book to make sure you understand it, track it down in the penalty enforcement then find the signal, you could memorize the IRS tax codes. I would like to see a rules book that has the heading "Holding" or any other commonly used rule or term. You could find everything you need to know under that heading without getting bounced around even if it means duplication of a few things. "Would you like a little WHINE with that cheese?" I feel better.

The collection of illegal passes has a penalty that is too stiff. I'd go previous spot with LOD or spot foul with replay of down.
Also, Shave is right with the rule book. It could be made much more user-friendly.

a penalty on a touchdown can be taken either on the try or the kickoff. what is a 1 1/2 yard penalty good for anyway, most of the time it means nothing.

I always have a laundry list, although I don't really care if any of these are put into place.
My favorite rule change this year was in the NFL -- a penalty on K during the kickoff (during loose ball play, by NFHS definition) can be tacked onto the end of the kick. I would still like to see pass interference changed -- OPI, repeat the down. Remove illegal touching beyond the line as OPI, make it illegal touching. Make DPI a spot foul if <15 yards. Apply scoring play penalties on either the try OR the kickoff -- give the team the choice. Make all personal fouls automatic first downs.

BktBallRef I hope you get more exercise than just jumping to conclutions. And no I'm not a rookie. However, I do have enough brain cells working to know when something doesn't work, and that's a little thing called our rules book. It's obvious by the posts that followed mine that something needs changed. Not every person who puts on the strips wants a full time job, they are people who wants to help out at the 5th-6th grade level, JR. high and JV. They should have access to materials that don't bounce the reader all over and are lost by the time they are done. I work with a WH with about 40 years experience and several state championship games, and when I see him flipping from the front to the back, I know that this book it not effective and some change is needed.
