As you all know by now, the NFHS 2016-17 Basketball Rules Book had a major change in Rule 10, Fouls and Penalties. The Committee “re-wrote” Sections 1 and 2, changing them to “Section 1, Administrative Technical,” and “Section 2, Team Technical.” They felt….well, we don’t know what they felt, since there was no explanation given in the Rules Book concerning this change. It appears that they divided the “paperwork” of the game from the “Team Technical” portion of the rule.
There are several small changes in Section 2 where the committee gives additional information in the Penalty section that will help you to remember that in both Section 1 and Section 2, the Head Coach DOES NOT lose the right to the Coaching Box for violations of these two Sections.
The changes for the Study Guide are listed below. In Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, the only change is the Section number in the rule. Example: if the original Rule Reference is 10.6.1, the new Reference is 10.7.1. Changes in Section 2 make the most difference, since that Rule is by editorial change a completely new rule.
