One NFHS rule that I would like to see changed bit us this spring "season". I have actually never heard of this but asked a white hat friend of mine from another state and he confirmed it.
We were called for defensive pass interference on a pass play where the receiver who was interfered with caught the ball for a touchdown. Per NFHS rules, the touchdown play stands and the 15 yard penalty is enforced on the kickoff. I asked my white hat friend if the ball was just caught in the field of play, would the penalty be tacked on at the end and he confirmed it would.
Totally weird to me. Seems like the defense gets penalized twice (allowing the play to stand AND getting the penalty yardage). The better rule would be to allow the offense to choose the result of the play OR the penalty like what is done at the college and pro level.
