I think the problem with youth football parents (and coaches) is that they yell if they think an NFL or NCAA foul should be called. You know ,that wasn't DPI, the pass was uncatchable or that foul is an automatic first down. I call those rules "as seen on TV" since that is where they get them.
I think that's a bigger issue in football...NFHS rules on some things are drastically different from NCAA and the even more so from the NFL. With a sport like basketball...while there are differences between the codes, a majority of the the rules are the same.
