Google 2011 NFHS Football Case Book Clarifications.
The Rule Book is the law.

The Case Book is a supplement to the Rule Book.

It's illegal touching, not OPI.

The rule was changed several years ago. The casebook is flat wrong!

I see the NFHS has decided to add a case for football that is as patently absurd as the infamous backcourt play in basketball.
