Other than convenience in having enfocement line up with NCAA Rules, is there any relevant advantage to changing the current NFHS enforcement from what it has been, for decades? Granted, it does require some additional consideration when "half the distance" is involved in the deliberations, but has there been ANY serious enforcement problems with the current enforcement, other than someone not bothering to understand the actual rule?
NFHS rules in a number of instances are deliberately generalized, covering broader executions, avoiding special exceptions, in a number of instances, applied at higher levels to deal with situations deemed more significant at higher levels of play. The concept of more standardized, generalized enforcements at the HS level, that can be subsequently enhanced, or specified at higher levels, where deemed necessary, seems reasonable and absent any repetitive, serious enforcement problems doesn't merit change, for what seems like change sake.
