Rule differences guide....
 
Is this book worth ordering? I started working JUCO this year along with
high school (23 years) and am considering ordering this book.

Your opinions are apreciated.

It is worth every cent.

I don't see how anyone working both the NCAA and NFHS codes can do without this little manual! Go for it.

I bought it last year but it's so daunting to look at I didn't know where to start. I just attended college study groups last year to get exposed to the college rules and spent a lot of time in the offseason talking with college officials and working clinics. The supervisor of the conference I'm working in gave us a quiz this summer that caused me to dive into the rule book which helped immensely. I imagine the rules difference book will be helpful for reference now that I have a better understanding of most of the college rules.

The NFHS used to post a very brief (4-5 pages) summary of the key rules differences and I looked at a copy but failed to download it. Now I can't find it. At quick glance it was a great summary of the key differences.

I was just hired in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and I have been using the Differences book to study on a daily basis. I like the ability to contrast against rules I know and am familiar with.

I have also bought the Bin Books and find those helpful in categorizing plays and penalty enforcements.

There is a Redding Study guide that is on Honig's but I've not heard anyone speak about its effectiveness or usefulness.
