First,
I hope that the blindside block rule #3 we are using in experimental states becomes the rule nationally.
The defenseless player designation is related #29, but that is already in the Case book and/or mechanics book. I'm all for moving the list into Rule 2, so no need to reinvent the wheel. Cut and Paste.
Let em spike from a shotgun #23. Forget the 3 second runoff though #25. This is not needed in high school, in my opinion.
I like changing the blocking rule/FBZ, but it really should just prohibit blocks below the waist if the snap is a shotgun snap. I have never seen an example of such a block, even the immediate ones from a three point stance, where the block occurs while the ball is still in the zone. The ball is out too fast. Also, the defense should always be prohibited from blocking below the waist if the offense is in shotgun. They have to wait for the snap, so they definitely can't block low in time.
1. R could have any
witness for pregame meeting with coach.
--Ok, ambivalent on this..
2. No
for failure to wear required equip. - must leave for a play.
-- I like it, probably more likely to be called if we take the penalty yardage off.
3, Blindside block must lead with open hands.
-- YES
4. IS/IP can be PSK if after snap.
-- YES
5. Eliminate FBZ.
-- NO
6. FBZ only on initial charge.
-- not really in favor
7. FBZ only from 3-point stance.
-- can't do all three (5,6,7). I like the FBZ. Safe BBW should be allowed. Could support this.
8. Airborne player IB/OOB depends on where he came from.
-- Yes, but RARE
9. No UTD on LOD fouls by team in lead only.
-- Ok, why not just give the offended team the option all the time.
10.Start clock on RFP on everything but TOs & scores- until last 2 min of half.
-- No, nothing wrong with game length around here
11. Offended team can choose when to start clock after
in last two min of game.
-- No, same as #10)
12. No mind-reading needed on 3-4-6, use if advantage gained.
-- Ok, but advantage gained is what I use for this rule anyway, what is the point to change the language?
13. TO keeps player who lost hat in.
-- YES
14. Add 40 second play clock.
-- YES, but only by state adoption
15. Ball dead if runner loses artificial arm/leg.
-- Uh... do you have an example? Yes in any case... seems like an IW rule situation.
16."Pop-up" free kick is illegal.
-- No
17.Must have & keep 2 yd. space by all K players from RFP to KO.
-- No
20.Snapper can rotate ball end-for-end.
-- YES, this has always been a talk to for me anyway. No advantage is gained.
21. B encroachment if he touches snap before released by snapper.
-- YES
22.No 9 yd. rule for players already in game.
-- NO, we take this out and teams will run bush league hideout plays and we will have less rule support.
23.Legal to spike from shotgun.
--YES
24. No IG if outside of tackle box and pass goes beyond LOS.
-- No, I could support it, but it isn't needed.

29. A laundry list of what is a "defenseless player".
-- YES, see above
30. Roughing the passer if he's hit below the knees.
-- NO, no need to baby QBs in high school.
31. Tossed player sneaks back in game = IP before the snap.
-- YES, as soon as he becomes a "player".
32. Auto 1st down on USC, PF and DPI on B.
-- YES on DPI on B. I'm ok with the other two as well. What about PF that is also PSK?
33.
by A behind LOS = previous spot foul.
