The same pressure is being felt in NY high school girl's basketball as well to switch over to Fed rules (they currently use NCAA rules)

A lot of politics (surprised?) is involved within the NYSPHSAA infrastructure
to have ALL the sports in NY adopting FED rules. Those familiar with the NYSPHSAA / NFHS "relationship" can connect the dots.

A quick perusal of the NYSPHSAA handbook I made was an eye opener - the division of Fed and non Fed sports is totally along gender lines - just about every competitive male team sport is NFHS, and EVERY competitive female team sport is non-Fed....interesting....and no coincidence, I am sure....
