Just don’t make up rules as is suggested by sending him out for one play.
RULESMAN, RULESMAN, RULESMANMember states may apply to the NFHS to experiment with a rule change.
If the NFHS approves the experiment, other states may become "Tag-on" states allowing them to experiment with it also.
This particular proposal has been tossed around for a few years and it is good to see some are experimenting with it. I look forward to reviewing their statistics in January.
Other experiments would include the Oregon/Hawai'i/Connecticut/Colorado/Alaska Blindside Block which became the NFHS rule in 2017 after only 2 years of experimental use.
Experimental rules are provided to all officials and coaches who are part of the experiment as a supplement their rules book.
When experimental rules are in force they
are the official rule of the day! So, no one is
"Making up rules," as you suggested.
