IMO, the one rule in high school football most in need of “fixing” is pass interference.As it stands, with a maximum penalty of 15 yds, this is one of the most abused areas of the current high school game.It potentially subjects offensive players to unnecessary aggression, especially when it benefits the defense.Coaches even teach DBs and defensive players to foul instead of giving up a long pass or a touchdown.I have routinely seen WR & RBs, get shoved, pushed, kicked, knocked down, and worse, often well beyond the 15 yd penalty area just to avoid an otherwise big play or TD.This limit on the amount of penalty yardage gives an major advantage to the Defense.Why is this rule still in place and what would it take to fix it?
