The rulebook simply sets out the rules and Points of Emphasis. The case book contains play situations that illustrate the rules. The Officials Manual lays out mechanics and best practices. The simplified and illustrated book contains pictures and diagrams that illustrate the rules.

Just promise me you’ll never use the terms “illegal procedure” or “offsides” when broadcasting high school football! 😂

Are you talking about playing rules, or things like IHSAA tournament rules? The IHSAA does not publish playing rules. The National Federation does. You can order the hard copy here https://www.nfhs.com/p-1414-2024-football-rules-book.aspx?CategoryID=0&SectionID=0&ManufacturerID=0&DistributorID=0&GenreID=0&VectorID=0& I’m not sure how a non-official gets an electronic copy. As for a free online rulebook, the NF rulebook contains the following: “© 2020, By the National Federation of State High School Associations. Neither the whole nor any part of this publication may be copied or reproduced and/or translated without first obtaining express written permission from the publisher. Republication of all or any portion of this publication on the Internet is expressly prohibited. Published by the NATIONAL FEDERATION OF STATE HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATIONS”

And they were up 50-0 at halftime against Penn in the 5A championship game.

Or, NIL seekers.

A real shame. Worked many games over the years that they televised. Always a class group. They happened to air my last game as an on-field official. Afterward, they sent me a couple of DVDs of the game, unsolicited. Good people.

So, does a strength coach typically interact with non-athlete students, like teaching health, phys-ed, or something like that?

And if they start, say … 5-0? We’ll see then. 😂

😂🤣😅 Unlikely.

That reminds me. I was at the IHSAA offices last weekend. For those that don’t believe the ping pong balls really exist:

I think that idea will be revived once the South Shore RR’s two southern extensions are completed. Construction is under way on the Western of the two extensions, which will eventually reach from Hammond, through Munster, Dyer, Cedar Lake, and terminate at Lowell. Not sure what the time line is.

Agree wholeheartedly. But why is it a POE?

I hardly think so. There are a number of charges in this, and other, cases to which the Presidential immunity issue does not apply. Clearly a won battle for the Trump people. But they didn’t win the war.

Me, too. That’s why I’ve voted for the Libertarian candidate recently.

So, are you saying voters have a duty to vote for the lesser of two evils, just because not voting for either actually helps one candidate more than the other? Hmmm. The “non-vote vote.” Why, it’s brilliant! The ultimate passive aggressiveness at the polls.

No doubt.

Try as I might, I’m unable to generate any enthusiasm for a contest between a criminal who is a pathological liar, and a sock puppet whose only goal in public appearances is to avoid drooling on himself. The only ones benefitting from this election are the comedians and satirists who find themselves inundated with material.

More often than you would think. https://www.uptodate.com/contents/sex-chromosome-abnormalities#:~:text=In humans%2C they are the,in 448 births [1]. “Sex chromosome abnormalities refer to a group of disorders that affects the number or the structure of the chromosomes that are responsible for sex determination. In humans, they are the X and Y chromosomes. Examples of sex chromosome abnormalities include monosomy X or structural abnormalities of the X chromosome such as isochromosome Xq, both anomalies leading to Turner syndrome. Congenital sex chromosome abnormalities occur in at least 1 in 448 births.” [emphasis supplied]

Stick to stuff south of I-70. 😂🤣 For several decades, Penn dominated the North, and managed to win 5 IHSAA championships along the way. So, yeah. If a school were to become “the new Penn,” that would be a great accomplishment.

Who knows? My only point was there is no obvious impediment to him sticking around another 5 years.

Hence, my qualifier: “as long as Coach Buzea is on the job.” He was seriously ill years ago, but has made a fantastic comeback. He’s something like 63 yrs. old.

CP has a great chance to emerge as the next Beast of the True North as long as Coach Buzea is on the job. That school is only going to get bigger. They have great facilities and community support. Very good school. As transfers get easier and easier, and the influx of Illinois families continues, the Bulldogs are poised to become the new Penn — and a destination for athletes. Now whether that gets them anything on Thanksgiving weekend is another question.

We should treat potential violators in #2 just like we do in #1. Preventive officiating is important. We’ve been lining up wide receivers forever. If you’ve got a kid who lines up illegally, but doesn’t gain an obvious advantage, get to him between plays and move him back a step, at the same time explaining to the coach why we’re doing that.

Hard to believe it has been 14 years now. Anyone still in contact with Mrs. T.A.? How is she doing?

Interesting that with people crossing state lines, the “transfer portal” is not necessarily a zero sum situation, i.e., whatever one Indiana school gains, another loses.
