I don’t believe the 2019 UIL Exceptions are “official,” yet, although most “in the know” believe nothing will change from an unofficial document that may have been prematurely distributed.
The prospect of two levels of targeting is an issue that will need careful consideration of how we communicate with teams and spectators. Like with the 10-second subtraction, in stadia sans field mic, it will be difficult to even announce the fouls, much less have the spectators and/or pressbox folks understand a targeting foul (no DQ) versus a targeting foul deemed flagrant (with DQ).
There will need to be lots of ‘education’ with coaches.
Unlike other UIL Exceptions, in this case, the UIL has actually replaced the NCAA rule with their own rule. (Except in Championship games, in which they will revert to the NCAA rule, using replay.)
I’m ready for a nap.😴
