How many would like to see your state do like Texas and Mass and do away with NFHS rules and used strictly NCAA rule book? I know I would. It is silly to have different rules that just confuse fans, players and coaches. Even some officials are confused!

Coached in MA and ran the flexbone there so we loved the cutting and the closer hashes...easier to run into the boundary....funny story..my first year there and as a hs coach..getting to play our first game..we are warming up on the field the day before the game...and something isn't right..can't figure it out...finally I realize they the hashes are messed up..I go over to the maintence guy and say hey..what's up w/ the field..he looks at me like I am an a-hole and pulls out his book..look it says right here 53' 3"....I say ummm..you are using a fed book....he says nothing they can do...the refs don't even notice so we tell them the field is f'ed up just move the ball in a little and we are good to go...ref's wouldn't do it just used the fed hashes...i was flippin out my first game as a hs coach

the fed rules are totally lame
they narrow the talent gap
if you can and are willin to cut then it doesn't matter how big/fast/strong you are---this is real football now
i cannot believe anyone here would actually WANT to have the fed rules
the ONLY reason i can see why is if you are at a vastly superior talent school
tell me why you like em?
serious?
really?

The 2 offenses I prefer (Fly and flexbone) are both dramatically better w/ cut blocking on the perimeter & downfield, so that's sweet.
But, I hate thinking about all the time and energy we'd need to spend on teaching our perimeter guys on how to defend the cut.
In the end, I'm for it, but I can live w/o it, too.

Anxiously awaiting the cut block being legalized...

We cut block liberally on the los, feel no reason to cut block in the open field etc. I think its too dangerous.
Never once concerned myself with the hash marks.

What about uncatchable pass? Running a kick out of the end zone?
Intentional grounding rules with tackle box?

I think that cut blocking would benefit our situation. For you guys that have it do you have data that might prove it to be unsafe? Local college uses it and says that they have no evidence that it causes injuries at that level.

I wouldn't mind "uncatchable pass" but it does add another level of judgement calls for the officials. The Fed touchback rule prevents teenagers from doing something stupid and that's a good thing IMO. In my experience 90% of the time that a kid tries to run it out of the end zone it turns out badly. Since I'm a DC why would I want the "tackle box" rule?

Running a kick out of the end zone? Heck, I didn't even think of that. We probably would've had at least 1 more special teams TD, maybe even 2, if we could've taken them outta the end zone.

Well the fed rule on IG looks to be clear cut but is interpreted very differently by many different officials. Any time a QB throw a ball away to save yardage or time should be IG. It is not called that way.

I would love to see NCAA rules across the board. Less confusion and more favorable rules (Like John Knight stated above) Heck, cutting may reduce the number of head injuries at the HS level...you never know...

It is not called that way. I don't disagree with that but throwing the ball away and staying within the framework of the rules is a skill.

Field Goal From Outside the 20 Unsuccessful kick results in touchback if ball crosses goal line.(fed) Ball returned to previous spot if untouched by B beyond the neutral zone.(ncaa)
Prior to change of possession, the try ends if A1 fumbles and a teammate recovers. Not attempted following last timed down touchdown if game decided. B may score two points.

I just don't know how much of an effect it will have. We don't see that many 37 yard FG attempts.

I would definitely prefer the NCAA rules over the Fed. I agree with Tog's comment that cut blocking helps teams with less size and strength compete with bigger, stronger teams. And, its just less confusing for everyone. One set of rules for youth ball through college would also help, IMO, improve the quality and consistency of officiating.
