NFHS Survey up

it's "unfair to the defense and cannot be officiated."

Despite all evidence to the contrary.

I'm not a huge fan of it, either, and its originator is a bit full of himself, but, whatever. It takes advantage of a loophole that, like many loopholes, is exploited in a way that the rules book writers didn't intend it to be used. That's, I guess, fair play.

And necessity is the mother of invention, so the small school staying with a bigger school thing, fine. Whatever.

A-11 seems to me to be neither the greatest thing since sliced bread nor the worst thing since socialism. It is what it is until it isn't anymore. But, to me at least, the biggest problem is that it exploits something that exists for a different purpose - not that it can't be defended or officiated, because it's been proven that it can be defended and officiated.

They ask about dropping the LOD from OPI, making the previous spot the basic spot for fouls by A behind the previous spot on loose ball and running plays, allowing the team in possession of the ball to choose either the spot where the helmet came off the ball carrier OR replay the down as an option are what I recall.

I can't pull it up to review it now that I've completed it

Just remember, or if you don't really know... the survey is just that .. it's a survey to get the feel for the pulse of those taking it which includes a lot of coaches.

Those that get a lot of "yes" responses may come up for a vote in January or whenever they do this. At that time, the item may make it into the rules for 2009 and then again, then may defer it until some future year.
