Schumacher has experienced a great deal of success during her 18-year coaching career in basketball, which followed an impressive collegiate playing career. As a player, she was named to the Division 3 Kodak All-America First Team at the University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh in She was named to the All-Wisconsin Women s Intercollegiate Athletic Conference team in 1984 and 1985 after leading the league in scoring both of those seasons.

At High School Identified - Unless Otherwise Specified All Meetings Begin at 7:30 p.m. GOLF Saturday, June 20 - WHSGCA Annual Meeting, Black Wolf Run, Kohler WIAA rules prevent the recruitment of students for athletic reasons. The specific rule in question states: "No eligibility will be granted for a student whose residence within a school s attendance boundaries, with or without parents, or whose attendance at a school has been the result of undue influence (special consideration due to athletic ability or potential) on the part of any person, whether or not connected with the school. I t s important to note that persons not connected with the school can violate this rule, resulting in a loss of eligibility. Schools are ultimately responsible for the eligibility of all of their students and the school needs to communicate rules and pay close attention to the circumstances that bring students to the school. O b v i o u s l y, public schools and private schools encourage students to enroll and this certainly can be done without violating the undue influence rule. The following gives some examples of acceptable and unacceptable practices. This list cannot be considered all-inclusive, but should be helpful as an example. A c c e p t a b l e High school personnel visiting a middle school/elementary school to explain programs and encourage all interested students to attend. Inviting all interested students from a middle school/elementary school to visit. Providing game tickets to all interested students and/or team members from a middle school/elementary school or a r e a youth teams. Providing informational pamphlets which describe the high school to all interested students at a middle level/elementary school. Providing tuition reduction to prospective students, based on need and/or scholastic achieve m e n t. U n a c c e p t a b l e High school personnel visiting a middle school/elementary school sport team to encourage players to attend. Inviting selected students, because of athletic potential or ability, to visi t. Providing game tickets to selected students, based on athletic potential or ability. Providing promotional pamphlets to selected students, based on athletic potential or ability. Providing tuition reduction to selected students, based wholly or in part on athletic potential or ability. Community or booster club member(s) contacting a potential student, because of athletic ability or potential, and encouraging attendance. Additional Examples Interpretation of this provision now allows youth athletic teams to r e c e i ve invitation/complimentary admission to high school sporting events and to be acknowledged or introduced at those eve n t s. Teams may also perform and/or scrimmage in connection with a high school eve n t Under no circumstances may a youth team be introduced, etc., at more than one contest per season. This interpretation provides for admission, acknowledgment and performance and/or scrimmage opportunity. These events may not extend or prolong the contest or periods beyo n d the limits provided by rule. Participating in the high school team's game preparations is not permitted (e.g. pregame, half-time, sidelines, locker room). Under no circumstances will it be considered acceptable to single out a ny individual youth/middle level student athlete separate from or disproportionate to the remainder of the team. It is the responsibility of schools to contact other schools and report any possible violations of WIAA rules. The WIAA is always willing to provide rules clarifications and, where necessary, will impose sanctions on schools and prog rams. It is far better for schools to provide leadership and control to preve n t problems than to have to deal with these issues after the fact.

5 Vol. 81 No. 11 WIAA BULLETIN April 15, 2005 Page 5 Question 1: Can our team wear Lance Armstrong bracelets during our games? If everyone on the team wears one isn t it considered part of the team uniform? Answer: No, Rule prohibits wearing jewelry such as rings, watches, earrings, bracelets, necklaces (including cloth or string types)... Question 2: Is there a run rule to end the game for softball? Answer: The procedures for ending a game can be found on page 29 of the Softball Regulations. d) A game will end when after five innings a team is ten or more runs behind and has completed its turn at bat (Rule 4-2-3). Note: The 10 run rule must be used in all tournament games except for the four State Tournament Championship Games. By Conference agreement, a game may end after three innings if a team is 15 or more runs behind and has completed its turn at bat (Rule 4-2-3). Question 3: Is it permissible for a flag sticker to be worn on batting helmets? Answer: There are not any rules prohibiting a flag decal. Rule (2 x 3 inch maximum). Question 4: Must the catcher s helmet and mask combination have an embossed NOCSAE seal? Answer: Rule 1-7-1, The helmet shall bear the permanent NOCSAE seal. Either permanent sticker or embossed seal are acceptable. Question 5: Team is using the DP/Flex. Each time the DP reaches base the coach inserts the FLEX to run for the DP. How many times can this occur? Answer: Refer to the Softball Case Book, page 23, 3-3-6, Situation E; Team A is using 10 players in its lineup, with the DP-Jones batting third. Flex- Smith is playing right field and is a very fast runner. In the first, third, and sixth inning, DP-Jones gets on base and, in each case, the FLEX-Smith is put in to run. Is this legal? Ruling: It is legal for the defensive position player (FLEX) to do this since she never left the game. However, it would be illegal for the starting DP-Jones to return to bat in the sixth inning. This is a violation of the reentry rule. Players are allowed one re-entry (Rule 3-3-5). Question 6: Batting Out of Order: B9 bats in B6 spot and gets safely to first. B7 and B8 both strike out. Now, because B8 was just out, assumption is that B9 should be up next, but she is sitting on first base. No pitch has been given because team thinks next batter is B9 and she is on base. Who is the next batter and what is the ruling for B9? Or B2 bats for B1 and hits a triple. The defense appeals and B1 is declared out. Now B2 is due up, but is sitting on third. Who bats next? OR B7 bats for B1. B7 makes an out. The defense appeals and B1 is declared out. Who bats next? I am referring to Rule where it states A batter is in proper order if she follows the preceding player in the lineup, even though such preceding batter may have batted out of order. This makes me think that the next batter up would be B8, but my partner says you go back to the established order. Answer: Refer to the Case Book, 7-1-1, Situation C. Question 7: Fair Territory: The pitcher must not pitch unless all defensive players are in fair territory. Is fair territory considered both feet entirely within the lines? Can a player be standing with one foot outside the line? Answer: Rule , All lines are fair ground. Rule The pitcher shall not deliver a pitch until all defensive players are positioned in fair territory, except the catcher, who must be in the catcher s box. Question 8: Rule 6-3-2, Exception: In the Rule Book under there is an exception that states intentionally violating the rule in order to walk the batter without pitching shall not result in a ball being awarded the batter, but the Case Book says...a ball shall be awarded the batter. How do we handle this? Answer: Rule is an Infraction By Catcher. The Case Book is referring to a ball pitched by the pitcher. Question 9: Rule 6-2-2, Can the pitcher wear a nonwhite glove on her pitching hand? We found that the pitcher cannot use tape or other substances on the ball or contact point of the pitching hand...and the pitcher shall not wear any item...distracting to the batter. Can the pitcher wear a glove on the pitching hand (a regular winter glove, a non-white batting glove, or a surgical glove) to stay warm as long as it is not white? Answer: Rule 6-2-2, The pitcher shall not wear any item on the pitching hand, wrist, arm, or thighs which the umpire judges to be distracting to the batter. Any type of glove would be deemed as distracting. Question 1: Girls on my team just returned from spring break with braided hair and hard plastic beads in their hair. Is this legal? Answer: No, Rule Jewelry shall not be worn.... Hard plastic beads in the hair are in violation of this rule. Question 2: Should ties involving places other than first place (in the high jump) be broken? Answer: Yes, Rule 7-3-2b. Competitor with the fewest number of trials for which the tie occurs, i.e., the last height successfully cleared, shall be awarded the higher place. If the tie still remains, the competitor with the fewest total number of unsuccessful trials throughout the competition, up to and including the height last cleared, shall be awarded the higher place. Question 3: Are skullcaps allowed? Answer: No, State Association Regulations state Headwear only headbands or knit caps which are unadorned except for school name, school nickname, or school mascots are legal. Question 4: Is it legal to wear shorts over a bodysuit with a leg stripe? Answer: Yes, refer to the Track & Field Meeting Folder; Rule Clarifications. Visible items under shorts: Exception to Rule 4-3-1d, shorts may be worn over a bodysuit even if the exposed portions of the bodysuit are not a solid color. Question 5: Two vaulters are still competing, both clear Vaulter A makes three unsuccessful attempts at 11 6, while Vaulter B passes 11 6 and makes three unsuccessful attempts at How is the winner determined? Answer: Refer to Rule The key is to go back to A m e r y A s h l a n d H a y w a r d M o s i n e e Northland Pines Rice Lake Spooner/Shell Lake B e r l i n Fox Va l l e y New London Wa u p a c a Wa u t o m a / F a i t h Christian A c a d e m y Wi n n e c o n n e X a v i e r Little Chute L u x e m b u rg - C a s c o Notre Dame S e y m o u r S t u rgeon Bay Two Rivers West De Pere C a m p b e l l s p o r t K e w a s k u m K i e l P l y m o u t h Sheboygan Falls S l i n g e r Wa u p u n SECTIONAL #1 ATH AY WA R D 1:30 p.m. AT H AY WA R D 3:30 p.m. ATWA U PA C A ATWA U PA C A ATS I T E T B A ATFOX VA L L E Y L U T H E R A N ATWA U PA C A SECTIONAL #3 ATS T U R G E O N B AY ATS T U R G E O N B AY ATP LY M O U T H ATP LY M O U T H AT N O T R ED A M E ATW E S TD EP E R E ATK I E L the last height successfully cleared. Question 6: An athlete s pole has the manufacturer s pole rating etched on the pole along with the contrasting color pole rating. May the etched rating be covered with tape as long as the colored pole rating is visible? Answer: Yes, Rule Question 7: Jumper A misses the first attempt at a given height. Is Jumper A required to take the second attempt immediately? If yes, is Jumper A required to take the third jump immediately if second attempt is unsuccessful? If Jumper A elects not to take the second jump immediately is this jump recorded as a passed attempt? How many jumps will Jumper A have remaining at that height? Answer: Jumper A must immediately take his/her second attempt. The third attempt would not have to be taken immediately. Choosing to wait would be a passed attempt, leaving only one jump remaining at that height. Question 8: Several of the new undergarments athletes are wearing have two visible manufacturer s logos. Is this legal? Answer: No, Rule 4-3-1b,4. A single manufacturer s logo/trademark... on each item of apparel. Preventative Officiating Tip: Place athletic tape over one of the logos. Question 9: Are bra colors exempt from Rule 4-3-1d,1? Answer: Yes, the WIAA considers bras to be underwear not undergarments. Question 10: Are sweatbands worn on the wrist legal? What about sweatbands worn above the elbows? Answer: The National Federation does not address sweatbands worn anywhere on the wrist/arms, therefore these situations would be legal.

8 Page 8 April 15, 2005 WIAA BULLETIN Vol. 81 No. 11 Dave Anderson Amateur Status Q.: I am a head boys track coach and have a question that we couldn't find in the Bylaws. I am going to be giving a weekly award for "Athlete of the MEET" to an athlete who had a great personal performance at a meet. I am going to give them a certificate and put up there picture here at school. I was also wondering if I could give them a coupon for a free 6" sub from Subway or if this would be against the WIAA rules. A.: Amateur status violations are career ending for a high school student. The certificate of achievement and photo in school are not a problem. The sub sandwich would be a violation. For Reference: You may see Bylaws Article XI, p. 29. Also in the Senior High Handbook see: Rules of Eligibility Article IV, p. 34. You will also find a narrative on this topic in the WIAA's Rules At A Glance Article III/C: Please go to our website ( Under Regulations choose WIAA Rules Overview. Competition & Practice Q.: I am looking to conduct a track invite separate from our high school and make it an all comers meet. This means adults, college and high school could compete. Question - Can a high school bring their athletes to such a meet as long as they count the meet and they do not get any awards? A.: From time to time, WIAA member schools do get involved in competition sponsored by an entity other then a school. It can be permissible under the WIAA Bylaws, Article II, Section 5. There are caveats. You may want to schedule a visit with your school's AD to go over this topic. Your AD should always be your first contact for those questions/concerns regarding a student or member school's sport participation. If a member's AD has questions, we are ready to respond; they know how to reach us. You can also review the Bylaws/Sections and caveats on our website. (wiaawi.org) Under Publications choose Senior High Handbook. The references I've provided are on p. 26. Q.: The local Kiwanis youth league people asked me to speak at a youth instructional camp this Sunday. Is it permissible to use some of my players as clinicians for the youngsters with the following schedule in mind? We will have practiced or played on Monday- Saturday. Sunday is our scheduled off day from practice. Does this clinic violate the consecutive day rule if our players serve as clinicians? A.: Had the Kiwanis gone directly to your players and asked for volunteers to come/help out...we'd easily see no problem, saying it's up to the kids what they wish to do with their day off. Even with your involvement, this could still be accomplished without it necessarily being seen as a violation here. But recognize that it certainly could contribute to confusion/misunderstanding by those who don't know or understand the rules and interpretations. The fundamental key is that this is not/may not be a scheduled/mandatory team function. YOUR TEAM IS OFF! This is something different then a scheduled team practice. Should this be something you wish to contribute to/volunteer for, I'd recommend: Explicit communication to coaches/teams/parents at all levels there is no scheduled team practice this Sunday. A n y JV/varsity players interested in volunteering to assist coaches in providing a clinic to an area youth ball players...meet at the park at XX p.m. (bring your mitts and dress for demonstrating fundamentals and assisting younger ball players). Then, keeping in mind the "day off" circumstances, be sure to keep it light and fun for your guys..temper/tempo what you have them do. It can be a very good "give-back" day and experience. But be certain your kids know it is 100 percent voluntary, and that you have a contingency plan prepared with your coaches to put into effect in order that the event can go off effectively whether you have 0, 6 or 30 students show up to assist you. Participation Issues Q.: Recently someone was trying to convince me that if our school didn t sponsor a sport, e.g. hockey or gymnastics, that our students could automatically be eligible at a neighboring school that offered those sports at a nonvarsity level. Are our eligibility rules only for varsity sports? A.: WIAA Rules of Eligibility Art.1, Sect. 3 provides that: A school may use on its interscholastic teams only its full-time students enrolled in grades affiliated with WIAA membership, (Varsity, JV or otherwise). A school not providing a sport does not entitle a student to be able to go play for the next school down the road. I must imagine that what their intent might have been was to convey that the timelines/deadlines for establishing a co-op team are virtually nonexistent for subvarsity co-ops. Essentially, since there is not tournament entry/area groupings involved, nonvarsity co-ops can be formed almost at any time of year, independent of the printed timelines. It seems reasonable, for many reasons, that the co-op procedures would still be followed; i.e. both school's governing boards should approve, affected conference should lend support/approval, etc. It would seem reasonable for the involved schools to make us aware/gain approval in order to avoid confusion over scrimmage rules violations and other assertions and uncertainties. Nonschool Competition/Participation Q.: We have a student-athlete that likes to train for and compete in triathlons during the summer. Questions: 1. I know that he can enter these competitions at his own expense, correct? 2. He cannot accept prize money or "items of value" (TV's, bonds, gift certificates, etc.). 3. Am I correct that he could accept a t- shirt, hat, completion certificate? 4. What about a trophy or plaque for winning his age group? Also, if you could help direct me to the specific place in the Handbook for reference that would help immensely. I looked briefly but couldn't seem to find the reference to this. A.: 1) Summer is a perfect time for this sort of competition. Yes he can enter at his own expense. In addition, an athlete can be reimbursed "actual and necessary costs associated with competition. (Handbook p. 34 Article IV, Section A1-a). 2) Correct. Swimming and running are WIAA recognized sports. Student must be an amateur in all WIAA sports in order to be eligible in any WIAA sport. Since winning the prizes you mention would come as a result, at least in part due to running and swimming, accepting anything other then the permissible "symbolic" medal ribbon trophy, would violate amateur status provisions. 3) Yes. No Problem. 4) Yes, again, no problem. Go to your Handbook again, p. 29. Article XI outlines "acceptable awards for achievement. Coach Contact Q.: Last fall during the 2004 soccer season, I volunteered to be an assistant coach to a high school boys soccer team. Can I still coach the boys in a soccer club this spring as a head coach? A.: The fundamental rule is that the person coaching players outside the season may NOT also coach them during the next school season. The only exception to this is the five approved contact days in the summer, from the end of school to July 31. No school coaches may have coaching contact with their players during the school year other then during the actual season itself. If you coach your school's players throughout the spring and summer, you would be ineligible to coach them again next fall. There is no difference between being a paid or volunteer coach. Q.: I have a question on a regulation. I am in a situation where I am going to be coaching an AAU team this summer. However, all of these athletes will be attending the same high school next year as freshman. Now coaching positions opened at the sophomore, JV, and possibly freshmen level at their high school where I will be applying to receive my first high school job. I am not completely sure on when the school is hiring for these vacancies but I plan on applying for them as I am going to be a student teacher during the beginning of the season. Am I allowed to coach this summer team if I end up coaching at their high school next year? A.: The "fundamental rule" regarding coaching contact is that the person who coaches students outside the season may not also coach them during the next school season. From that fundamental basis, there have been occasions where we have determined a coaching candidate to be not eligible to be offered a coaching contract. Having shared the simple basic rule, I will also tell you that there is more to it which I won't go into detail on right now. Let me simply make you aware that there are some exceptions within the rule and its application/interpretation that could easily be applied to your situation and role, allowing you some effective summer coaching without any peril whatsoever, e.g., JV and varsity coaches are allowed to work with middle level students until they actually begin 9th grade.. AND.. Effective last summer, all school basketball programs were afforded up to five days in the summer (end of school to July 31) where coaches are allowed to have contact with student athletes, including from their own school. Q.: I have two questions for you. 1) My first question is in regards to summer contact days for basketball. We have five contact days with our players. Is it legal for me XYZ varsity boys basketball coach, to coach boys in 10th - 12th grades from XYZ at a UW Extended Team Camp. The team camp runs Sunday nights for 5 weeks, and consists of basically two basketball games. 2) Second question, can our freshman coach, coach 8th grade students on a traveling team that consists mostly of potential XYZ students. A.: 1) Simple answer, yes. Remember contact window is approved from the end of school until July 31. Additional caveats: opportunity is made known to any student interested; attendance is voluntary; mix up your group, so it is not simply your school's JV team or the school's varsity team. There are some big proposals going to the membership which if approved would relax some of the caveats I mentioned. 2) During the same exact five day contact window, yes; outside of the approved five days - no. To be clear, your "program" gets five days..you identify those five days. Same caveats would apply to your frosh coach in this circumstance. Q.: My brother and I are the state coaches for the Wisconsin Wrestling Federation, and we have a question about high school coaches helping us. Right now we have eight regional training sites around the state, and at a few of them, a high school coach is the clinician. What this amounts to is that the coach shows technique to wrestlers that have a USA Wrestling card (the wrestlers can be between the ages of 5 and 18 at our training sites). The training sites are open to anyone with a USA card -- the coaches are working with wrestlers from other schools than just their own. I have been under the assumption that this is allowable, because we do the same sort of thing in the summer for our national team competitions. We have a handful of high school coaches who coach kids from around the state. I want to make sure that this is still allowable, as long as the training sites are open to other wrestlers than just the coach's own. A.: Rules differ considerably between summer and during the school year itself. During the school year no sport coaches are allowed coaching contact with their own student athletes, except during the actual school season itself. Please go to our website ( Under Regulations choose WIAA Rules Overview. The very first article addresses coach contact. Beginning this summer the rules regarding coaching contact for wrestling coaches will relax considerably - at least from the end of school to July 31. Residence & Transfer Q.: Our school board voted to cut wrestling next year. I have three high school students who have filled out open enrollment forms to some other schools. The closest schools with wrestling are 45 minutes and 1 hour away. With the winters we get the parents are worried about their sons driving that far every day. They have come to me with some questions about their sons moving to live with someone in another district. I don't want to give them bad information; so I thought I would throw some scenarios by you. What are the restrictions and eligibility problems for the following situations: 1) Student moving and enrolling before the start of the school year. 2) Student moving before the start of the school year, then moving back to our school after wrestling season. 3) Student starting the year in our school, then moving after football season, then moving back to our school after wrestling season. 4) Also would there be any differences for a senior vs. a junior. A.: 1) If/when a student attends a school through state open enrollment, there is no residency requirement, technically. The student might live in those other communities with relation or friends of the family, etc. The student does not need to commute. 2) Student's eligibility is anchored at the school where they attend a day of class and/or a day of practice. Not eligible for a spring sport back at your school if they transfer. 3) Not eligible for wrestling at the other school. Eligibility has been anchored at your school. 4) No, not really on this topic. Health & Behavior Q.: Does the WIAA consider junior high as a separate code than high school? In other words, if an athlete would have an athletic code violation in junior high and sit the appropriate suspension, does that carry over into high school, or does the athlete have a clean slate? That would mean any violation in high school would be considered as the athlete's first. A.: This is an area that school's have control of the decision. The WIAA does not require codes carry over from middle school to senior high. I have heard sound arguments for carrying them over. There are some sound arguments for the "clean slate" to begin 9th grade. It's your call. Q.: I am asking your advice about a request from a parent to waive physical examination, hearing, vision, and/or screening. I have a written waiver request from the parent of a student who plans to participate in sports this season. What should my response be? A.: For Reference See: WIAA Senior High Handbook, p.39, Article VII Section 1 A. "A student may not practice for or participate in interscholastic athletics until the school has written evidence on file in its office attesting to (a) parental permission each school year and (b) current physical fitness to participate in sports as determined by a licensed physician or Advanced Practice Nurse Prescriber (APNP) no less than every other school year..." There is no waiver or exception to the requirement for a physical exam. Out-of-Season Concerns/Equipment Q.: I read an article recently in a widely distributed periodical that I want to bring to your attention. The article focused on lettering of athletes by a coach in another state who used both in and out-of-season criteria in determining of who receives an athletic letter. I was approached by one coach already with a question on the article. Knowing how many coaches receive this magazine, I thought it would be best to share this with you. My interpretation is this is not allowable in our regulations as the incentives and activities in this program are limited to students based on their team and school affiliation. A.: You are 100 percent correct in your understanding. Requiring nonschool participation as a component of meeting school program "letter" requirements is inappropriate/not in compliance with present WIAA interpretations. The specific and best text on this interpretation can be found in the WIAA Rules at a Glance, Article I. Deconstruct: In part, one of the qualities we look for in "acceptable (nonschool) programs" is that participation is "voluntary." By incorporating incentives/punishments like playing time, letter awards, or "extra conditioning," etc., that fundamental quality (voluntary) is no longer met. Nonschool participation becomes mandatory. That becomes a compliance issue in WI at this point in time. Q.: We will be running our normal summer school classes and offerings. This coming summer we would like to include a couple of different classes including a couple of sports specific classes. These two classes go directly towards the sports of baseball and basketball. Of course our summer school is open to all district students and also includes some non-district students. So we have a wide variety of students attending our summer school courses. I did read the references, specifically Article II Sections 1-5 of the High School Bylaws, and also Article I Section 5 of the Rules of Eligibility. Basically what it comes down to is what is and is not allowed in these summer courses. The baseball course is planned to be taught by our current head baseball coach and will include rules, fundamentals and specifics of the game of baseball. The basketball course is planned to be taught by our current head boys basketball coach and will include rules, fundamentals and specifics of the game of basketball. Again these courses or classes are open to all district students and even some non-district students. There is of course, the high possibility that in these two classes, there may be some current high school athletes. This is the area that I need your interpretation on. If this is or could be an infraction of the Bylaws I will restructure the classes accordingly. Also these classes may also include students from grades 3-12 some that are current HS athletes, some that may become HS athletes and some that are not HS athletes. A.: Right now, as Bylaws presently exist, if you wish to continue as a member in good standing with the WIAA you cannot do what you propose. Bylaws Article II, Section 2-A-1,2,3 (Handbook p. 26). "A school may not assemble athletes or prospective athletes in physical education classes, or some other manner for purposes of teaching...except during the designated school season of a sport." A little further down, this same area clearly allows that schools may provide this sort of opportunity (camp/clinic/summer school) for students who have just completed 8th grade or below. This is not by any means a new rule. If your head coaches are veteran, they must/or certainly should be aware of this rule. Secondly, WIAA Rules of Eligibility allow a student only one season of "school sponsored sport" each school year (not more then four seasons in all, grades 9-12). This summer-schoolsponsored sport season would count as one of those four allowable seasons. (Handbook p , Article V, Section 1-A-3c. Should you decide to proceed and offer these courses anyway, you would really want to discourage any athletes with past status in the respective sport programs and remaining eligibility from enrolling. Lastly, this interpretation reflects the status quo. I also mentioned the Mar. 25 WIAA Bulletin and some of the proposed constitutional changes, which if approved, would allow for what you are proposing - up to a max of five days in the summer from the end of school to July 31. Open Gyms and Camp Issues Q.: Two nearby schools and I are planning a team camp for our five days of contact. Do we need to run it through an organization? We will charge 20 dollars or so for t-shirts and go for about four or five days in June. A.: As rules are presently interpreted - YES - a nonschool sponsor's still required for camps/leagues/clinics involving students in high school. The Bylaws allow a member school to sponsor/provide a camp/clinic opportunity for students who have just completed 8th grade and below. Q.: Our foundation would like to offer scholarships for such activities to needy youth but the question came up about whether the WIAA would consider that payment for play and whether it would object to such scholarships. Is it appropriate to offer scholarships to those who need help to take indoor tennis lessons, to attend a summer camp, to travel to participate in a tournament? A.: A succinct answer to your questions can be found in the WIAA's Rules At A Glance document: Please go to our website ( Under Regulations choose WIAA Rules Overview. For Expenses - Training and Competing, see Article III/F. When it comes to specialized training, camps, clinics, etc., the student and their family must cover 100 percent of all costs associated with the opportunity. When it comes to competition, playing a game, competing in a tournament, a student can be reimbursed actual and necessary costs, including See Eligibility Q&A's, page 14

10 Page 10 April 15, 2005 WIAA BULLETIN Vol. 81 No. 11 Q.: I believe I found a problem with a statement in the 2005 Baseball Rules Book as it relates to a question on the 2005 Baseball Rules Examination Part 1. The question is #11. It states, A 34-inch bat shall not weigh more than 31 ounces. The rule book on page 13, Chapter 1, Section 3, Article 4 states, In weight.a bat shall not weigh, numerically, more than three ounces less than the length of the bat (e.g., a 33- inch-long bat cannot be less than 30 ounces). I believe the more and less contradict each other. I believe both statements should be more. I also believe the understanding could be improved in the example if it stated, (e.g., a 33-inch-long bat cannot weigh more than 30 ounces). A.: This question has been read many different ways..created some considerable consternation.. For a time I even found ways to "make it" be a "true" answer. But it just "didn't sit right" so I contacted the Federation and received this from the NF baseball person: I usually only take credit for the good questions, but in this case I "kicked it". I wrote a bad question and the answer should be false. Sorry! Q.: Here s a situation: A batter runner running down to first base jumps over the base. The first baseman gets pulled off the base. As an umpire, do we call the runner safe even if he misses the base or do we make no call at all and wait for an appeal? A.: This situation is a "no-call." Either the runner will return and legally acquire...or you will likely hear the appeal. When this sort of scenario first was discussed, the initial reaction by some was to declare the runner "safe" and await the appeal. However, when that direction conveyed the appearance that all the opposing coach needed to do to get the ump to change the call was to squeak a little bit. Best to say noting at all. Both teams have equal opportunity to recognize the silence. Q.: There is some confusion about when the umpire erroneously calls "foul ball". Actually, when does the ball become dead? The rule book says when the umpire verbalizes "foul ball. Would any action prior, such as a catch then be counted? Would a simultaneous or after the call catch be nullified? My interpretation is when the umpire calls "foul ball", the ball is dead. Any prior action would be counted. There seems to be some confusion as to when the ball actually becomes dead. A.: I'm perfectly comfortable with what the rule book says...once you open your mouth it's too late. Anything which precedes the audible "call" - STANDS (I agree with you). Simultaneous catch your judgement. Actually, as we said in our rule meetings, be LATE. I always remind wrestling officials about awarding points too early. Hold your call. Q.: A situation occurred in summer baseball outside of the high school setting that brought much discussion. Question: With a runner on 1st base, a low line drive is hit toward the shortstop. The shortstop dives for the ball and the umpire calls a catch as the fielder lays on the ground. Almost immediately, the player rolls over and it is realized that the ball was not caught and the umpire immediately calls no catch. The runner on first, upon the umpires first call, headed back to first. When the call was corrected by the umpire as a no-catch, the runner was thrown out before getting to second. Although the umpire erred in calling this too quickly and not waiting with his call, is there any way for the umpire to rectify the error. Is this where rule l, which states, (The umpire may) rectify any situation in which an umpire's decision that is reversed has placed either team at a disadvantage, can be applied? If so, what would be the correct call? If l does not apply here, in what situation would you use this rule? A.: I am inclined to agree with you. Certainly being present to see the timing of a play unfold would be necessary, and "judgement" as to cause/effect. Though there is not specific case example, nor any help in the Umpires manual. The closest I come to find for support is case examples: E and H Ruling. They are clearly distinguished from examples F & G by the clear/singular role of the contest official, vs. F/G where "responsibility" of teams/coaches/players to know a situation does not absolve them. In those instances when the rules lack in specific guidance, there is in every sport rule base some numbered directive to get it right. The elasticity clause. As you have described the action from last summer, it would seem to me to be the appropriate application for l. Q.: We have a baseball player who has a light tan glove. It is a single colored glove. He is a pitcher and that is why I am asking the question. The rule states that a pitcher's glove can not be white or gray. As an umpire I have looked at the glove and if the student-athlete were to use the glove in a game I would allow it. In my estimation there would not be an issue of a batter not being able to pick up the baseball against the glove as a background. The player is left handed so it would not be easy for him to just use another players glove in an emergency situation. We thought it best to have a statement from you as to its legality. That way if it is questioned we have a statement from the WIAA. Please advise. A.: Your rule reference is correct. The variable will always be "judgement." All rule books allow for elasticity of the rules, the judgement and discretion of the officials, in the spirit of fair play and/or safety. One would not expect problems with a "tan" glove. If the glove is a nice rich deep tan, I would not anticipate any problems at all. If it is something other, you may encounter an ump who judges it to be "white." Q.: I have just completed my baseball test and one question however is driving me nuts. Question number 46 under "Base Awards." It states: With a count of 3-1, the pitcher hits the runner stealing home from third on a pitch outside the strike zone. The batter-runner is awarded first on the base on balls and second because the pitch hit the runner. I have looked everywhere. Because I have never seen this in a game in my 28 years of coaching I have to ask what happens to the runner as well as the batter. I knew if I didn't pursue this and get the correct answer that for sure I would see this happen in one of our games this year. A.: Just when you think things couldn't get any stranger, right? The answer is False, due to: addresses the runner; the batter is (p. 50 NF Rules). Runner is awarded home; Batter/runner stays at first on the walk. See case example A(p. 64). Q.: Is it permissible for a flag sticker/decal to be worn on batting helmets in baseball and/or softball? A.: According to rule 1-1-4, "One American flag 2 inches X 3 inches may be worn on each item of uniform apparel". We will generally include caps and batting helmets in that interpretation (usually the helmet decal will be less than 2 x 3 inches). Q.: At our association meeting we discussed a situation and are asking for your ruling on the situation. We feel this is something that very easily could occur. A runner who misses touching a base will be declared out on a proper appeal. When a third out is made on a tag out (not a force out) the plate umpire determines wether a preceding runner scores. If the runner touches home plate prior to the tag out, umpire declares run counts. If the runner has not touched home plate prior to the tag, umpire declares run does not count. On a third out by tag, the runner misses touching home plate and goes to his dug out. What ruling does the plate umpire make? Does he stand "mute' and wait for an appeal? Declare the run counts and wait for an appeal? Declare the run does not count since the runner has not touched home plate prior to the tag out? By declaring the run to count, the defense will assume the runner touched home plate, the umpire is not giving the correct ruling-- NOT a good ruling! Declaring the run does not count, by-passes the defense appealing the missed base. Ruling: The umpire waits for the question; "Does the run count?" Now the team is "appealing the umpire to make a decision. Is this an acceptable appeal? Does the defense have to initiate the appeal suppose the offensive team asks the question? Does the appeal need to be made before all defensive players leave fair territory? What happens if no one questions the run counts? Is there another ruling that simplifies the whole situation? A.: My basic opinion is the mute/say nothing - immediate reaction. I do not like the appearance of a "safe" call and then appearing to "change my mind" just because the opposing coach came after me. I prefer "mute." Actually, in a way, that gives equal awareness to both teams. As the two interpreters weigh in, there will come a time when something needs to be said. Use your judgement allowing both teams every reasonable opportunity to determine the result: 1) I have looked in other baseball "bibles" and they agree, run scores unless appealed. I believe the thinking here is that the runner is "presumed" to have touched after he passes home plate, and by B a r r o n C l a y t o n / Turtle Lake C u m b e r l a n d H a y w a r d N o r t h w e s t e r n O s c e o l a Saint Croix Falls S p o o n e r C a d o t t C o l b y L a d y s m i t h Park Falls P h i l l i p s S t a n l e y - B o y d To m a h a w k Wa s h b u r n A m e r y B l o o m e r B o y c e v i l l e C a m e r o n C h e t e k C o l f a x P r e s c o t t Saint Croix Central A l t o o n a Aquinas Black River Falls D u r a n d Elk Mound M o n d o v i N e i l l s v i l l e O s s e o - F a i r c h i l d SECTIONAL #1 Friday Tuesday Wednesday Tuesday May 27 May 31 June 1 June 7 ATB L A C KR I V E R FA L L S ATB L A C KR I V E R FA L L S 4:30 p.m. ATB L A C KR I V E R FA L L S 1:30 p.m. returning to touch, while he is still able to by rule, just nullifies any appeal. I think there is some comparing here to a timing play and this is not the same animal. Look at it this way, if the runner never went back to touch and the defense never appealed, the run would still count, even though home was not touched before the last out was made. As a home plate umpire what do I do? If the runner in question passed home long before the third out was made, I say and do nothing just as if he touched. If he passed the plate "just before" the third out was made, so that it is close enough that people are going to want to know. I simply point at home plate, look at the scorer and say "that run scores" (just as if he touched). It's up to the defense to appeal. If the runner comes back to touch home plate before an appeal was made, and after I have declared run to count, all the snake oil in the world isn't going to get me out of that one. 2. Great question. I believe the run counts as long as no appeal is made. I go along with the first paragraph in interpretation 1. How this is handled is conjecture. With all the players and coaches elevated to a new height, it takes your ruling on a run scored to a new level. I think one has to wait until the appropriate time to officially say "the run scored", that is, end of the inning, defense leaving the diamond, etc. If questioned, I think an answer such as "I assumed he scored." If he then tried to come back and tag the plate, I would not count it since, according to the scenario, he went to the dugout. According to the rule book, he must return immediately, but the defense must still appeal. It looks like a no win situation, but that's what you get paid the big bucks for. 3) And this from the NF: It is always good for our folks to think ahead. Your guys are correct. The ump cannot say anything until an appeal is made or a pitch (legal or illegal) occurs and closes the appeal window. Asking if the run counts is not an appeal but a question.

12 Page 12 April 15, 2005 WIAA BULLETIN Vol. 81 No. 11 FROM THE WISCONSIN ATHLETIC DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION By Mike Bates, Information Coordinator, WADA When the basketballs start bouncing next year at the Kohl Center at WIAA tournament time, there will be one noticeable, major change from the justcompleted 2005 championships. And, the state s athletic directors, coaches, spectators, players, and game officials will certainly see the difference: A 3-person officiating crew. The change will be implemented gradually, starting with the state tournament in 2006, sectional games in 2007, and regional finals in Schools and conferences are encouraged by the WIAA to utilize 3-person crews for regular season games. I truly feel it will be a win-win situation for everyone involved with the game, said Pat Anderson, a veteran WIAA basketball official of 22 years. He also is the WIAA Officials Rep on the Executive Board of the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association. How often do you hear, Get control of the game!? This will certainly help with control of the game, continued Anderson. There will be better coverage of the entire court. Three-point coverage will improve, as well as coverage off the ball, rough play, illegal screens, etcetera. With three officials, the calling official is usually in better position to make the right call than with two officials, said Anderson, whose full time job is with Dane County Planning & Development as a zoning specialist. This is the result of better angles, a better view of the post players, and one official can stay focused on the ball when it s in his area. Being an official, one other benefit that I can see is that it just might extend the career of a veteran official, which will help nurture many up-andcoming younger officials, added Anderson, a DeForest resident who this past March worked his 4th WIAA State Tournament. For 6 years, he has officiated college basketball, where a 3-person crew is used. Not all agree with the change approved by the WIAA Board of Control at its meeting last month in Madison. "I am a firm believer that two people, in shape, can handle a game. They can concentrate better, and finding three people who officiate with a similar style may be difficult," offered Bob Lesniewski, a veteran referee from Eau Claire who has worked prep and college basketball for 30 years. "The floor coverage is the main concern for me... because it's different with 3-man mechanics. "If officials don't work a 3-man crew on an ongoing basis, it will be different, particularly in regards to moving and positioning," added Lesniewski, who has officiated 8 state basketball tournaments and whose full-time job is the Indianhead Area Director for Special Olympics Wisconsin. He also expressed concern about training being needed to help game officials adjust to the change. Summer camps and clinics offering such assistance are being planned across the state. And, some conferences are discussing the use of 3-person crews during the regular season similar to when the WIAA went to a 5-man officiating crew in football. The time has come for 3-man baske t b a l l crews, remarked Jim Doden, the conference commissioner for both the Fox Valley Association and the Valley 8 Conference. We all know the athletes are bigger, stronger and faster than in years past, and we have all heard the comments that today s games are too physical. A 3-man officiating crew can be a step in the direction to curtail some of the rough play. Another pair of eyes will definitely lend itself to better court coverage. Of course, officials will need to be trained in the proper court coverages and mechanics to make this benefit the game, continued Doden, who has officiated football, basketball and baseball, at the prep and collegiate level. Included in his resume: 7 state basketball tournaments and 3 state football playoffs plus numerous Division III Regional baseball tournaments and the NCAA World Series in Just merely adding a pair of eyes will not result in a better called game if each official does not work his or her particular area of the court. Doden doesn t believe more fouls will be called by a 3-person crew. It will let the athletes know they are being watched more closely, and that they cannot get away with illegal screens, holding, pushing, and other acts to gain advantages. It will clean up some of the rough play. Another benefit, echoed Doden: It will be an opportunity to break in younger, less experienced officials while adding some longevity to the career of some of the more experienced officials, because a 3-member crew is easier on officials legs an important factor as the game is increasingly being played above the rim and at a faster, up-tempo pace. I believe that with the advent of the 3-man crews at the state tournament, coaches and athletic directors will see the benefits of having that third official on the floor, added Doden, who lives in Appleton and has retired after a long career as a teacher in the Fox Valley area and Transportation Director for the Appleton Area School District. Within two, maybe three years, each conference will request that all conference games be assigned with 3-man crews. The website for the WADA is and Mike Bates may be reached at mbates1@new.rr.com.

To provide clinic/learning opportunities to disadvantaged students, some sport enthusiasts in our urban communities put the "machinery" in place to provide 100 percent free camp/clinics - available to any/all students interested in attending. If there are no costs associated with the opportunity and it is available to any/all who might be interested regardless of school and/or team status, then even the disadvantaged can cover 100 percent of that. Fundraisers & Booster Clubs Q.: The athletes within our baseball program are interested in helping the MAACC Fund. Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer funds research for cures of cancer in kids. If we have a fundraiser to donate to this organization, would that pose any potential WIAA concerns? A.: Generally speaking students can get involved in a wide range of fundraisers for "charitable causes" without peril. However, be careful that athlete's involvement does not get translated into an "endorsement or promotion" for the nonprofit business or charity. Secondly, the sort/style of fundraiser ought to be discussed with school administration and approval sought. Lastly, the Membership has gone on record in opposition to fundraisers which are woven into an athletes/(teams) performance in competition. Examples, $$/yards rushed, $$/takedown or pin, $$/strikeout, RBI, stolen bases, etc. Q.: Can booster clubs pay for league fees for school athletes but not for camps or clinics? A.: Yes. See Rules At A Glance Article III/F (be certain booster bucks are not kept in school accounts if they want to use them for summer leagues or the nonschool competition opportunities).

16 Page 16 April 15, 2005 WIAA BULLETIN Vol. 81 No. 11 QUESTION: Is it legal for a driving range/golf course to offer discounts to the golf team outside of a scheduled practice at that facility? INTERPRETATION: The fundamental principal of amateur status for this matter is that athletes may not benefit directly or indirectly based on athletic ability/potential or performance and coaches must allow all students in a school to have an opportunity for this reduced rate. Prior to the season beginning, coaches may provide these cards to members of their teams so long as all students have had an opportunity to join the golf team and they understand that student-athletes cut from the golf team, once practice begins, are able to retain the card. QUESTION: Can teams/players walk a course prior to competing in a meet at that same course? INTERPRETATION: Meet managers can allow teams to walk a course prior to a meet. If they choose to allow a team to walk the course, all teams involved should be provided this opportunity. In addition, teams/players need to be reminded that no practice can take place on the course and no testing of the surface of any putting green is allowed per USGA Rule 7. QUESTION: Are junior high or high school golfers allowed to use a pull cart during competition? INTERPRETATION: WIAA rules do allow the use of pull carts at any time for high school and junior high school golfers. It is only use of a riding golf cart where a waiver is necessary. QUESTION: Can we play both our varsity and JV's in the same invitational on the same day? INTERPRETATION: In golf, schools are allowed to play both their varsity and JV teams in the same invitational on the same day. Coaches and athletic administrators are advised to review carefully the MAXIMUM ALLOWED MEETS and the INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPATION LIMITATIONS sections of the WIAA Spring Season Regulations to be certain these maximums are not exceeded. QUESTION: Can we play two varsity teams in one invitational? Can we play five different players each day? INTERPRETATION: I am not aware of a school golf program that has approved of two varsity programs. To have two varsity teams in one golf meet requires the approval of two varsity teams by a school board or governing body of a school. Coaches should not make a quick decision to have two varsity teams without the approval of their governing board. If two teams are approved for a school, two separate schedules would be necessary, one for each varsity team. Some schools have been fortunate to get varsity reserve programs approved. Any time additional teams are considered for a tournament, coaches need to obtain approval for that program from their administrators and their governing bodies. The selection of the players that compete in a meet is the decision of the school. Five different players can be allowed to compete in the invitational on the second day. QUESTION: We had a golf meet postponed due to inclement weather. Originally it was scheduled as a two-day, 18-hole meet with nine holes played on each day. Can our golf team obtain a waiver that will allow us to play one meet on two different days that are a week apart? INTERPRETATION: WIAA Season Regulations are specific with regard to Maximum Allowed Meets. On page 13 of the Spring Season Regulations under letter b. it indicates that "No meet may continue more than two days." Splitting this meet into two separate days will require each day to count toward the meet maximum. QUESTION: We have a day off of school and a nine-hole meet in the afternoon. Can the golfers play the front nine of this course prior to the afternoon meet since we will play the back nine during our meet? INTERPRETATION: No, USGA RULE 7. Practice, b. Stroke Play, "On any day of a stroke competition or play-off, a competitor shall not practice on the competition course or test the surface of any putting green of the course before a round or play-off." Exception: Practice putting or chipping on or near the first teeing ground before starting a round or play-off is permitted. Penalty for breach of Rule 7-1b: Disqualification. QUESTION: Can student-athletes purchase their own golf shirts at discounted prices through a NIKE purchase program? INTERPRETATION: As long as the golf program is available to all students in a school, all students have been given the opportunity to participate, and the discount is available to all members of each team (JV, varsity, etc.) discounted prices can be provided to members of the golf team QUESTION: Can a foundation program provide funds to the school that will pay for a golf membership for members of the golf team if we do not cut anyone? INTERPRETATION: There are a couple of issues in this question that require responses on their own. The only way that members of a golf team can have their golf membership paid for is if this individual, "nonschool" membership opportunity is available for all students. School funds may never be used for students' "nonschool" pursuits. School administrators should maintain copies of the announcements made providing this information to all the school's students. A benefactor could cover course fees for a school team/program for the school season. A "gift" to the school might be ear marked for golf-fees for the school season. School officials should follow district policies pertaining to the acceptance of a gift. Individual "Nonschool" memberships must be available for all students QUESTION: Can a golf shirt have the company name on the sleeve of the shirt? INTERPRETATION: All of the WIAA attire rules can be found in the WIAA Spring Season Regulations under ADAPTATIONS TO USGA RULES page 14. This rule indicates, "When a course has specific attire rules, (i.e., collared shirt) players will comply with the rule or will not be allowed to participate in the meet. Host school shall enforce the attire rule. Inappropriate dress includes, but is not limited to, clothing displaying anything relating to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or inappropriate language or gestures. (1) A boy must be attired in a shirt (not sleeveless) and golf slacks, tailored shorts (golf or tennis shorts) or jeans (but not those frayed or altered). Golf shoes or rubber-soled shoes must be worn. (2) A girl must be attired in NO LESS than a sleeveless blouse and tailored shorts (golf or tennis shorts) or jeans (but not those frayed or altered). Golf shoes or rubber-soled shoes must be worn." QUESTION: Can a golfer compete with a pierced body part? INTERPRETATION: Neither USGA or WIAA regulations contain language regarding body piercing. School district and course policies need to be reviewed pertaining to this matter. QUESTION: If a golfer putting on a green, putts and hits an opponent's ball, is there a penalty? INTERPRETATION: USGA Rule 19-5, a., indicates that a "If a player's ball in motion after a stroke is deflected or stopped by a ball in play and at rest, the player must play his ball as it lies. In stroke play, there is no penalty unless both balls lay on the putting green prior to the stroke, in which case the player (put- ter) incurs a penalty of two strokes. QUESTION: Does a player receive a penalty if they address a wrong ball, makes a practice swing, and accidentally hits the wrong ball during their practice swing? INTERPRETATION: For this ruling, we must carefully consider the definition of a "stroke." It is also assumed this situation is not occurring in a hazard. USGA defines a stroke as "the forward movement of the club made with the intention of striking at and moving the ball...". Consequently, a practice swing is not considered to be a " stroke." Therefore, there is no penalty in this situation. QUESTION: Is there a penalty assessed when a player's ball strikes the flagstick while it is removed from the hole and laying on the ground? INTERPRETATION: USGA Rule 17-3, a., indicates, " The play - er's ball must not strike the flagstick when it is being attended, removed or held up..." The penalty for a player's ball striking the flagstick in Stroke play is two strokes. An exception to this rule does take place when the flagstick is attended, removed or held up without the player's authority--see Rule QUESTION: I am going to be placing an order for golf balls, tees, and ball markers soon, but have a question about ball markers. Are the plastic markers that you stick into the green illegal? It came up in a conversation with a distributor the other day and I was hoping for clarification before I place the order. INTERPRETATION: To the best of my knowledge and the wisdom of those at the WSGA there is nothing illegal about the use of plastic markers that you stick into the green. The only thing that I can think of is that someone believes that the post of the marker changes the "rub" of the green. Evenso, this is not illegal and they are allowed to be used. QUESTION: I received an from a family in Michigan. In short, they are moving into the area soon. They have a senior boy who played fall golf for his high school team. They asked me if he would have eligibility in Wisconsin for the spring high school season. I'm suspicious but I checked with the WIAA handbook. I'm unclear as to the answer I should give them. Could you give me a ruling? INTERPRETATION: Regarding your question about a boy who A s h l a n d B a r r o n H a y w a r d N o r t h w e s t e r n Rice Lake S p o o n e r A l t o o n a A m e r y B a l d w i n - Wo o d v i l l e D u r a n d E l l s w o r t h New Richmond O s c e o l a Black River Falls G a l e - E t t r i c k - Tr e m p.

Once a student-athlete has competed in a sport program, they are only allowed one season during a school year to do so. This ruling is governed by the fact that in Wisconsin our dates for golf as they will be listed in the Spring Season Regulations will be from March 28, 2005 through the end of the State Meet on Tuesday, June 7, Any boy who has practiced or competed on a school program during the school year prior to this season is not eligible to compete again this spring. Steve, this is a rule that applies to all of our sports where there are split seasons and in cases where transfer students come from another state. Once someone has practiced and/or competed in a school season, that is the season they are eligible to compete in--no other. This is similar to our girls program in Wisconsin where if they participate in fall golf, they are not eligible to participate in the spring program. If girls do not participate in the fall, then they are eligible to participate in the spring. QUESTION: As a parent, I would like to be able to enter parent/junior golf tournaments with my daughter during the summer. Can I do so? INTERPRETATION: Outside of the school golf season, student-athletes can compete in nonschool competitions. be very knowledgeable and protective of student-athlete's amateur status; as violations can impact both high school and NCAA eligibility. If you enter an event always indicate right on the entry form"my daughter is a high school athlete and an amateur...we are playing for fun and experience...and may not/will not accept any cash or merchandise prizes for her play". That is not a prescriptive statement just an example to clearly convey, from the very beginning, your understanding/intentions. If you are playing as a 4-some, find two others who are willing to not accept any/all prizes you might win as a group. That's the cleanest, safest direction you can go. Lastly, do NOT give the prize to charity - "in your daughter's name". She may not accept or receive even if she turns around and gives the prize away.

17 Vol. 81 No. 11 WIAA BULLETIN April 15, 2005 Page 17 QUESTION: Can coaches be on the court during matches? I know coaches can only coach once in set during a change over and between sets. However, can coaches sit on benches inside the fence directly behind a court? Or walk around the courts while points are in play? The other question is a tennis sport question. In doubles, if the server hits her own teammate in the back or her teammates racquet on a first serve, what is the rule. Is it a service fault and she gets the second serve or is it the opponents point? INTERPRETATION: Coaches are not allowed to be on the court during matches. As indicated in the WIAA Season Regulations as found on page 47, c. No coaching which interferes with continuous play will be allowed. (Continuous play starts with the warm-up.) Coaches are allowed on the courts at the times listed in this regulation. Regarding your second question about a serve hitting a partner on the first serve, this is a fault and the server receives a second service. QUESTION: Are WIAA member schools required to provide basic uniforms for the varsity tennis team? If not, are the athletes or their parents required to individually pay for the "official" school uniform? INTERPRETATION: Decisions regarding the purchases of uniforms are to be made at the local level. The only WIAA issue that may cause concern regarding this matter would be if student-athletes purchased uniforms at a discounted rate. Student-athletes may only purchase apparel and equipment at discounted rates when it is offered to all students in a school. Due to the recent financial difficulties many of our public and nonpublic schools are facing, a variety of creative budgetary strategies are being identified. If you have further questions regarding this, please be certain to discuss them with your athletic director.

INTERPRETATION: Regarding the 20 second rule, it is only five seconds shorter than the old rule and we "never" gave a time warning under the old rule. The 20 second rule deals with the professionals using ball kids and 4-6 balls. We in WIAA play do not use ball kids and only use two balls during the WIAA State Championship Meet. Officials will give time to retrieve the balls and have some time to put the serve in play. If players are taking advantage of our slow clock, we will give a "warning" and that will establish a proper time. QUESTION: If I have a quad scheduled as a scrimmage and my team only has 13 matches, if there is another team at the quad with 13 matches, could both schools count them as a regular match? INTERPRETATION: Scrimmages are considered to be a practice allowed one time during the season with another school team(s). All schools involved in a scrimmage must count this practice as a scrimmage. One or two schools can not count it as a scrimmage while the others count it as a contest. QUESTION: I have a few players suspended and I would like to know if I can count a scrimmage as one of their three suspended matches? INTERPRETATION: Scrimmages are not considered to be competitions, consequently, they can not count as one of the competitions used to reduce a student-athlete's suspension. QUESTION: My son is on the tennis team and I am an assistant coach for the team.

Is this OK and is it OK for my son to play in the league during the season? Also, is it OK for other members of the tennis team to hit with me outside of the season? INTERPRETATION: Regarding playing with your son, WIAA rules do allow parents to have contact with their children outside of the sport season. Please see WIAA Rules at a Glance. Playing in the "league" can cause some problems. First, other members (non-family) of your tennis team can not have contact with you, if you are going to coach them outside of the tennis season during the school year. This means you are not able to be there while these other nonfamily members are present. Second, the "league" is considered to be a nonschool event and members of the high school tennis team are not allowed to participate in such events. Any and all high school tennis players will need to discontinue their involvement with the "league" as of the first day of practice for the tennis season. The boys on your tennis team can play in the "league" during the summer--defined as days after the end of the school year and prior to the start of the school year. You can play and work with them during the entire summer period. Once the school year begins, that is when you can no longer have contact with any student-athletes that you will be working with during the 2006 boys tennis season until the first practice of the WIAA boys tennis season. QUESTION: I have a female foreign exchange student who would like to practice with the boy's tennis team. She will not be returning next year and is not going out for any other sport. Can she practice with the boys? INTERPRETATION: Girl tennis players are not allowed to practice, serve as assistant coaches, clinicians, instructors, etc., during the boys' tennis season, in the school program. Obviously, boys' tennis players are similarly restricted during the girls' tennis season. Girls' tennis players cannot practice with the boys' tennis teams because the boys' tennis season is defined in Season Regulations and the school cannot make opportunities available outside the season. Again, boys' tennis players are similarly restricted. Swimming, soccer, and golf are other sports with split seasons where these rules apply. One exception to this rule that WIAA Rules do not prevent is a senior girl who has completed her girl's tennis eligibility from hitting with the boy's team. QUESTION: We were in the middle of a dual match when rain stopped play for the remainder of the day. With agreement from both schools, would it be all right to continue the match at another site on another day? INTERPRETATION: When dual matches or tournaments are postponed due to weather, every effort should be made to complete the match/tournament indoors or identify a rain date so that teams can schedule in the rain date. All matches that have been completed do count towards an individual's record for use in WIAA State Tournament Special Qualifier/Seeding selections. Matches that have not been completely finished are not counted. Dual matches may be rescheduled at other times, dates and sites. An individual match by itself may not be rescheduled or completed at another time and/or site. QUESTION: We have a player on our boy's tennis team who is in the process of moving into our school district. Is he allowed to practice and compete on our team? INTERPRETATION: Any time a transfer student joins a school's team, school administration and coaches should consider the athlete ineligible until reviewed and approved by WIAA staff. WIAA Rules of Eligibility, Article II Residence and Transfer, A., "A full time student, whether an adult or not, is eligible for interscholastic competition only at the school within whose attendance boundaries his/her parents reside, within a given school district." Additional information pertaining to residence and transfer can be found on pages 32 and 33 of the Sr. High School Handbook. Penalties for violations of any and all eligibility requirements can be found in the Sr. High School Handbook in the Rules of Eligibility, Article I--General, Section 5, page 31. QUESTION: Do matches that use a "10-point match tie breaker" instead of a third set qualify as official matches for seeding purposes? INTERPRETATION: Yes, matches that use a 10 point match tie breaker in place of the third set do qualify as official matches for seeding. Again, conferences and host schools can determine the type of play they will use for conference matches/tournaments and nonconference matches/tournaments. If a conference or host school determines they will use a 10 point match tie break, this becomes the official type of play for that competition. The 10-point match tie breaker, as approved by the Tennis Coaches Advisory Committee, will again be used on Thursday of the WIAA State Individual Tennis Tournament. QUESTION: I have a boy who is going to Florida for his spring vacation and wants to participate in a tennis camp while he is there. Can he do so? INTERPRETATION: WIAA rules do not prevent an athlete from taking a lesson from someone not associated with the school program. However, WIAA Rules of Eligibility, Article VI, Nonschool Participation, Section 1--In-Season, do indicate that "A student becomes ineligible in a sport for the remainder of the season for competing in nonschool game, meet, or contest in the same sport during the season of practice and competition established by the school." In addition, school officials should carefully consider the ramifications of additional training, potential injuries, school work demands, differences in philosophies, strategies, techniques, etc., when allowing student-athletes to take lessons outside of the team practices. It is important to note that any student-athlete that participates in a camp/clinic during the season may only practice. They may not compete as this would be a violation of WIAA Nonschool Participation regulations.

18 Page 18 April 15, 2005 WIAA BULLETIN Vol. 81 No. 11 FROM THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF STATE HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATIONS INDIANAPOLIS, IN (March 24, 2005) Sean Elliott, a high school and college basketball star in Arizona who played 11 years with the San Antonio Spurs in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and Ty Detmer, a record-setting quarterback at Southwest High School in San Antonio, Texas, in the 1980s who recently completed his 13th season in the National Football League (NFL), head a list of 13 individuals selected for induction into the 2005 class of the National High School Hall of Fame July 2 in San Antonio. Other former high school athletes selected for the 2005 class are Chad Hennings, a standout football player and wrestler at Benton Community High School in Van Horne, Iowa, in the early 1980s who later played on three Super Bowl teams with the Dallas Cowboys; LaTaunya Pollard, 1979 Miss Basketball in Indiana after an outstanding four-year career at Roosevelt High School in East Chicago, Indiana; and Patty Sheehan, a three-time state golf champion at Wooster High School in Reno, Nevada, in the early 1970s who later won 35 events on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour. Sheehan is the first individual from Nevada to selected for the Hall of Fame. These former outstanding high school athletes, along with three coaches, one contest official, two administrators and two individuals in the fine arts field, will be inducted into the 23rd class of the National High School Hall of Fame July 2 at the Marriott Rivercenter in San Antonio, site of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) 86th annual Summer Meeting. The National High School Hall of Fame was started in 1982 by the NFHS to honor high school athletes, coaches, contest officials, administrators, fine arts coaches/directors and others for their extraordinary achievements and accomplishments in high school athletics. This year s class increases the number in the Hall of Fame to 314. Jerry Popp, who won 15 North Dakota state boys cross country championships and 23 state girls cross country championships in 29 years at Bowman (North Dakota) High School, is one of three coaches selected for induction this year. Other coaches chosen for the 2005 class include Bill Gentry, who won 305 games and three state championships in 38 years as football coach at Highland High School and Eldorado High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Bob Wood, who won 27 state championships in 37 years as tennis coach at University Liggett School in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan. Jerry Hall, who officiated the sports of football and basketball for almost 40 years in Arkansas, is the lone official selected for the 2005 class. Hall, who also served 25 years as associate director of the Arkansas Activities Association, is the 47th contest official to be inducted in the Hall of Fame. Two former state high school association executive directors were chosen for this year s class, including Sandy Scott, the first female to head a state association on a full-time basis. Scott served the New York State Public High School Athletic Association for 26 years, including the last 11 ( ) as executive director. Also selected in the Administrator category was Earl Gillespie, a member of the Virginia High School League staff for 34 years who served as executive director from 1986 until his retirement in Fine arts inductees for 2005 include Donus Roberts, director of the speech activities program at Watertown (South Dakota) High School for 39 years ( ), and Betty Whitl o c k, who will be retiring in June after 30 years as speech/debate/drama coach at Clinton (Mississippi) High School. Roberts and Whitlock are the third and fourth individuals, respectively, in the fine arts field to be inducted in the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame was expanded to include fine arts in The 13 individuals were chosen for the National High School Hall of Fame after a two-level selection process involving a screening committee composed of active high school administrators, coaches and officials, and a final selection committee composed of coaches, former athletes, state association officials, media representatives and educational leaders. Nomination were made through member state high school athletic/activity associations. Following are biographical sketches on the 13 inductees in the 2005 class of the National High School Hall of Fame: ATHLETES Ty Detmer Texas Ty Detmer lettered in five sports (football, basketball, baseball, golf and track) at Southwest High School in San Antonio, Texas, from 1983 to 1986, but his football performances gained him state and national headlines. Playing quarterback for his father, Sonny, Detmer passed for 8,005 yards, which included a one-season best of 3,551 yards as a junior. Detmer completed 506 of 910 passes, including 71 touchdowns in his high school career, and registered 557 yards passing in one game. He earned All-America and Texas Player of the Year honors in football as a senior, and he was an all-state selection in baseball. Detmer s collegiate football career was even more phenomenal. As a quarterback at Brigham Young University, Detmer won the Heisman Trophy in 1990 as a junior and was third in the voting in He set 59 NCAA records, including most touchdown passes (121), most yards passing (15,031), most completions (958), most attempts (1,530) and most yards total offense (14,653). In a game against San Diego State as a senior, Detmer passed for 599 yards and six touchdowns. Detmer was a two-time winner of the Davey O Brien Award as the nation s top quarterback, and he was a two-time All-America selection as well. In 1990, he received the Maxwell Award as the nation s top college football player. At the professional level, Detmer has played for six teams C u m b e r l a n d G r a n t s b u rg Saint Croix Central Saint Croix Falls S o m e r s e t Turtle Lake/Clayton U n i t y We b s t e r B r u c e C a m e r o n H u r l e y L a d y s m i t h Park Falls P h i l l i p s Wa s h b u r n B o y c e v i l l e C o l f a x Elk Mound Glenwood City M o n d o v i P r e s c o t t Spring Va l l e y B l o o m e r C a d o t t C h e t e k Fall Creek McDonell Central R e g i s S t a n l e y - B o y d T h o r p SECTIONAL #1 Thursday Tuesday Thursday Tuesday May 19 May 24 May 26 May 31 ATM C D O N E L L C E N T R A L ATM C D O N E L L C E N T R A L AT M C D O N E L L C E N T R A L during his 13-year NFL career. Currently a member of the Atlanta Falcons, Detmer s best season was with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1996 when he completed 238 of 401 passes for 2,911 yards and 15 touchdowns. For his career, Detmer has passed for 6,351 yards and 34 touchdowns. In addition to Philadelphia and Atlanta, Detmer has played for Green Bay, San Francisco, Cleveland and Detroit. Sean Elliott Arizona Long before he was helping the San Antonio Spurs win the 1999 NBA championship, Sean Elliott was one of the brightest basketball stars in Arizona schoolboy history. As a senior at Cholla High School in Tucson in the season, Elliott scored 844 points and averaged 31.3 points per game to help his team to a 24-3 record and a semifinal berth in the state tournament. Both marks were single-season records at that time in Arizona s Class 5A (large class). Elliott was a two-time selection to the Arizona Super All- State team and was selected Arizona s high school player of the year in He was selected to Arizona s 20th Century Super Seven team and made four All-America teams (McDonald s, Converse, adidas and Basketball Times). The gymnasium at Cholla High School is named after Elliott. Elliott then played four years for Lute Olson at the University of Arizona ( ) and helped the Wildcats to four consecutive NCAA playoff berths, including one Final Four in He is the school s all-time leading scorer with 2,555 points, good for a 19.2 points-per-game average. He left Arizona as the Pacific-10 Conference s all-time leading scorer, though that mark has since been eclipsed. Elliott was a two-time, first-team All-America selection by the Associated Press, and he was chosen National Player of the Year for the season. Success continued for Elliott during his 12-year professional career. He spent 11 of his 12 NBA seasons with the San Antonio Spurs, scoring almost 10,000 points and averaging 14.4 points per game. He is the team s all-time leader in three-point field goals made and attempted, and fourth in points. He appeared in 85 playoff games, second most to David Robinson. The nation took notice of Elliott in Two months after helping the Spurs to the NBA title, Elliott underwent a successful kidney transplant in San Antonio, receiving a new kidney from his brother, Noel. Amazingly, Elliott was back on the court in March 2000 and played in 19 games that season and 52 games in before announcing his retirement. He was the first player in league history to return to action following a major organ transplant. Since his retirement, Elliott has been an NBA broadcaster for ESPN and ABC, and this year has been the Spurs television analyst. On March 6 of this year, Elliott became the fifth Spurs player to have his number (No. 32) retired, following David Robinson, James Silas, Johnny Moore and George Gervin. Chad Hennings Iowa Chad Hennings has been an outstanding athlete at every level of sport as well as an exemplary citizen through his service in the Armed Forces, and his success began as a two-sport star at Benton Community High School in Van Horne, Iowa. In football, Hennings was a three-year starter at defensive tackle, earning all-conference honors twice and all-state honors C o l b y E d g a r L o y a l M a r a t h o n Newman S p e n c e r S t r a t f o r d C o l e m a n C r a n d o n C r i v i t z F l o r e n c e P e s h t i g o Three Lakes Wa b e n o / L a o n a Wa u s a u k e e A m h e r s t A u b u r n d a l e I o l a - S c a n d i n a v i a P i t t s v i l l e R o s h o l t Tr i - C o u n t y Wild Rose B o n d u e l G i l l e t t M a n a w a Menominee Indian O m r o Saint Mary Central S h i o c t o n We y a u w e g a - F r e m o n t See From The NFHS, page 19 SECTIONAL #2 Thursday Tuesday Thursday Tuesday May 19 May 24 May 26 May 31 AT G I L L E T T 1:30 p.m. AT G I L L E T T 1:30 p.m. AT G I L L E T T 4 p.m.

Hennings was a member of the National Honor Society and was inducted into the Iowa High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame in 2001 for his high school accomplishments. At the college level, Hennings was a consensus first-team All-America in 1987 at the U.S. Air Force Academy and claimed the 1987 Outland Trophy. He was named Western Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Decade and was a two-time Academic All-American. Prior to and during his nine-year career as a defensive tackle with the Dallas Cowboys, which included three Super Bowl rings, Hennings fulfilled his military commitment. He flew 45 missions over Iraq in an A-10 Thunderbolt II in support of Operation Desert Storm/Operation Provide Comfort. He then served as a major in the Air Force Reserves and as a national spokesperson for the U.S. military. Other honors include induction into the Iowa High School Football Hall of Fame and the GTE Academic Hall of Fame. Today, Hennings devotes much of time to ministry, charity work and working with kids. LaTaunya Pollard Indiana LaTaunya Pollard was one of the most dominating players in Indiana girls basketball history perhaps in all states across the country during her days at Roosevelt High School in East Chicago, Indiana. Pollard compiled yearly per-game scoring averages of 18, 24, 24 and 26 from 1976 to 1979 in helping her teams to a combined mark of 92-2 and two state championships. Her team s only losses in four years were in the state tournament. In the 1977 state tournament, Pollard scored 54 points in one day 36 in the morning game and 18 in the evening game the second-highest one-day mark in state history. Pollard, who never missed a game in four years, was chosen Miss Basketball in Indiana after her senior season, was most valuable player in the McDonald s all-star game and was named to the list of Indiana s 50 greatest basketball players. She was one of only two females chosen for this prestigious honor. At California State University, Long Beach, Pollard helped her teams to a four-year combined mark of while compiling yearly per-game scoring averages of 21, 24, 26 and 29. She was all-conference all four years, was a three-time Kodak All- American and received the Wade Trophy. Pollard, who also never missed a game at Long Beach State, is the school s all-time leading scorer with 3,001 points. Her 907 points as a senior in still ranks 10th all-time in NCAA statistical rankings. In her final college game, Pollard scored 37 points in a regional final against the University of Southern California, which had Cheryl Miller, Cynthia Cooper, and Pam and Paula McGee and went on to win the NCAA championship. Pollard was chosen for the 1980 Olympic women s basketball team; however, the United States boycotted the 1980 Games in Moscow. She was inducted into the Long Beach State Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Women s Basketball Hall of Fame in Next month, Pollard will be inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.

Patty Sheehan Nevada As Nevada s first inductee in the National High School Hall of Fame, Patty Sheehan was the best golfer in the state s history and then became one of the early dominant players of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour. Sheehan won three consecutive golf titles ( ) at Wooster High School in Reno, Nevada, leading her team to the large-school state championship on each occasion. She followed that with four consecutive Nevada state amateur titles and two straight California state amateur crowns. In 1979, Sheehan was the runner-up at the U.S. Women s Amateur Championship, and the following year, she won the AIAW national championship as a member of the women s golf team at San Jose State University, and won all of her matches during the 1980 Curtis Cup (women s amateur team competition). Sheehan qualified for the LPGA tour in 1980 and won her first event the following year. She has won 35 LPGA tournaments, including six majors. She won her first major tournament (LPGA Tour Championship) in 1983 and earned player-of-theyear honors. Sheehan won two U.S. Opens and one British Open title. She defended her LPGA title in 1984 with a career-best round of 63 and won the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average on the tour. In 1993, Sheehan won her 30th LPGA event to qualify for the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame. With her 35th tour victory in 1996, Sheehan passed the $5 million mark in career earnings After playing in four Solheim Cups (1990, 1992, 1994 and 1996), Sheehan was captain of the U.S. squad for the 2002 competition in Edina, Minnesota. Among her other honors, Sheehan has been inducted into the Wooster High School Hall of Fame; the University of Nevada, Reno, Hall of Fame; the Collegiate Golf Hall of Fame; and the Nevada Interscholastic Athletic Association Hall of Fame. COACHES Bill Gentry New Mexico Bill Gentry s success in football is unmatched in the state of New Mexico, and he is one about 70 individuals nationally to surpass 300 coaching victories in high school football. Gentry s success was spread over five decades, beginning in 1958 at Highland High School in Albuquerque. He coached at Highland for 31 years, compiling a mark and state championships in 1963, 1965 and His Highland teams finished second in the state playoffs on three other occasions (1964, 1966 and 1970), and he qualified for the state playoffs 19 of 31 years. He had only two losing seasons at Highland, and his best stretch was 1963 to 1966, when his teams were After his remarkable run at Highland, Gentry moved to Eldorado High School, also in Albuquerque, in 1989 and had six winning seasons before retiring after the 1995 campaign. His teams were at Eldorado, and his teams qualified for the playoffs in six of the seven years, finishing as state runners-up in 1990 and Overall, Gentry compiled a record in 38 seasons best in the state s history. Highly respected by coaches, athletes and fans throughout the state of New Mexico, Gentry is considered a nationally known expert on the Delaware Wing-T offense, and he has published a book sharing some of his ideas and teaching practices. In appreciation for Gentry s contributions, the Albuquerque Football Coaches Association annually awards its top prep player the Bill Gentry Player of the Year Award. Gentry was named coach of the year four times (1976, 1979, 1992, 1994) by the New Mexico High School Coaches Association (NMHSCA). He was also elected to the NMHSCA Hall of Honor in Other honors include the National High School Athletic Coaches Association (NHSACA) Hall of Fame in 1998 and the Albuquerque Sports Hall of Fame in In addition, he coached in the North/South All-Star Game on three occasions, and he served on the NMHSCA Board of Directors from 1978 to Jerry Popp North Dakota Success as a high school cross country coach will always be measured against the standards of Jerry Popp. In 29 years as girls and boys cross country coach at Bowman (North Dakota) High School, Popp set marks that may never be touched. From 1975 until his retirement in 2003, Popp s girls cross country teams won the North Dakota High School Activities Association state championship an amazing 23 times, which stands as the national record in the National High School Sports Record Book published by the NFHS. The Bowman girls were runners-up two other times, which means Popp s squads placed either first or second 25 of his 29 years.

Also in the 1970s, Wood started the annual MHSTeCA clinic, which has become one of the largest and most successful tennis clinics in the nation. Wood also served as University Liggett s athletic director for 38 years and increased the number of sport offerings from 13 to 22 and the number of teams from 21 to 37. Wood is past president of the National High School Athletic Coaches Association (NHSACA) and also served on the boards of the Michigan High School Coaches Association and Michigan High School Athletic Administrators Association.

Whether from his days as an official on the field, to the hours and hours of rules interpreters meeting or his years in the office of the Arkansas Activities Association (AAA), Hall has covered every angle of officiating. Hall began officiating football, basketball and track events in 1952 and continued those efforts for almost 40 years. He also umpired baseball in Babe Ruth and American Legion leagues. He also was a Missouri Valley Conference football official for 10 years and worked two years of basketball in the Southwest Conference. For 22 years, Hall officiated football and basketball in the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference.

Hall joined the AAA in 1970 as an associate director and made an immediate impact in bringing the Arkansas Officials Association (AOA) under the supervision of the AAA. Through Hall s leadership, the AOA has grown from a few hundred members to more than 3,000. Hall was associate director of the AAA for 25 years and was involved with practically every sport sponsored by the association. For 26 years, Hall was the state rules interpreter in football, basketball, track, golf and tennis. In addition to working with the AOA throughout his career at the AAA, Hall also coordinated activities of the Arkansas High School Coaches Association. At the national level, Hall was extremely involved with NFHS rules committees. He served on the NFHS Football Rules Committee for 24 years and six years on the Football Editorial Committee. He also helped with a football rules film in 1974 and was vice chair of the Football Safety subcommittee. In addition, Hall served two terms on the NFHS Track and Field Rules Committee. Hall was a charter member of the NFHS Coaches and Officials Association and was instrumental in bringing the first NFHS national coaches and officials conference to Little Rock. He was inducted into the Arkansas Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Arkansas Officials Association Hall of Fame in He received the NFHS Citation in ADMINISTRATORS Sandy Scott New York Dr. Sandra Scott was at the forefront of the growth of girls athletics in New York and nationally in the 1970s, and then became the first female in the nation to lead a state athletic/activity association on a full-time basis when she became executive director of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) in Scott joined the NYSPHSAA as assistant executive secretary in 1975, moved to associate director in 1977 and served as executive director from 1990 to Prior to her full-time employment with the New York association, Scott was parliamentarian of the State Committee for Girls Athletics, then served as research chair in A 1963 graduate of Bowling Green State University, Scott received her master s from Ohio State University in 1969 and her doctorate from Ohio State in She was a teacher in high schools in Willoughby and Columbus in Ohio and also taught at Bowling Green before moving to New York.

He served in that position for 24 years before becoming executive director in 1986 until his retirement in When Gillespie joined the VHSL staff in 1961, the league was responsible for approving about 500 officials in two sports. Gillespie developed a comprehensive recruitment and training program for officials that encompassed nine sports and nearly 5,500 officials by his retirement in 1994, meriting him the title of Father of High School Officiating in Virginia. Gillespie served as a basketball and football official himself during this time 27 years as a high school basketball official and 15 years as a college basketball official. In football, he worked at the high school level for 25 years and college for 20 years. For the past 22 years, he has been a basketball officials observer for the Atlantic Coast Conference. In the area of athletic administration, Gillespie helped to create a state organization for high school athletic directors. He organized and administered workshops for Virginia athletic directors from 1968 to 1972, which led to the creation of the Virginia State High School Athletic Directors Association the following year. During Gillespie s four decades with the VHSL, the number of state championships increased from 12 in six sports for boys only to 54 team championships in 10 sports for boys and nine sports for girls. He also secured the first catastrophic insurance coverage for student participants, oversaw construction of the first VHSL headquarters building, led an effort with the state coaches association to create the Virginia High School Hall of Fame, and initiated the league s first corporate sponsorship program.

During his highly successful career as debate and speech activities coach at Watertown ( ), Roberts policy debate teams won 14 state debate championships and were runners-up nine times. His students won 22 state championships in the two South Dakota extemporaneous speaking contest events. His original orators won 10 state titles. The forensics department at Watertown was ranked first in South Dakota by the National Forensic League (NFL) all 39 years of Roberts tenure, and the school ranked in the top five nationally for 31 consecutive years. Watertown qualified 175 students to the national tournament under Roberts guidance. At the state level, Roberts was a longtime member of the South Dakota High School Activities Association Speech Advisory Committee. He played a key role in writing the competition rules governing debate, speech and one-act play competition. Roberts also was a key figure in creating the Speech Communication B e l m o n t B e n t o n C a s s v i l l e H i g h l a n d I t h a c a P o t o s i A l b a n y B a r n e v e l d Black Hawk J u d a M o n t i c e l l o S h u l l s b u rg C a m b r i a - F r i e s l a n d Fall River H u s t i s f o r d R a n d o l p h R i o Wayland A c a d e m y Catholic Central Faith Christian Johnson Creek Milwaukee Lifelong L e a r n i n g Racine Lutheran Williams Bay SECTIONAL #4 Thursday Tuesday Thursday Tuesday May 19 May 24 May 26 May 31 AT E VA N S V I L L E ATE VA N S V I L L E AT E VA N S V I L L E Association of South Dakota and the South Dakota Forensic Coaches Association, and he served terms as president of both organizations. Roberts was involved extensively with the National Forensic League (NFL) throughout his career. He has been a member of the NFL s Executive Council since 1980 and was a member of the National Debate Topic Selection Committee from 1964 to He was co-chair of the first NFL conference on the state of high school debate in 1985, and was chair of three subsequent NFL conferences in 1988, 1992 and In the 1980s, Roberts initiated a series of constitutional amendments, personnel changes and fiscal reforms to restore the NFL to solvency and credibility. But perhaps his final contribution was his best. In 2001, Roberts was chair of the NFL committee that invented Controversy, now renamed Public Forum Debate, sponsored by Ted Turner. With support for policy debate slipping nationwide, Roberts led the charge for this new form of debate which addresses controversial topics from the headlines; attracts community audiences; stresses clear, real-world argumentation; and demands communicative speaking. This new form of debate has become popular throughout the country. Beyond all of this, Roberts could be viewed as Mr. International Debate. Through Roberts efforts, the United States Congress, the NFL, the International Debate Education Association and the U.S. Department of State established and funded a landmark exchange program enabling debate teams from Russia, China, South Africa and other nations to compete with Americans in debate and South Congress at the NFL National Tournament. Among his countless awards, Roberts was inducted into the National Forensic League s Hall of Fame in 1987 and received the Outstanding Speech Educator Award from the NFHS Speech, Debate and Theatre Association.

Meeting Rm. Team - $120 The Links (Green Lake) It will be intense and seem like forever but someone will figure out that the silence speaks volumes. If the question is asked then you can answer only after the pitch has been thrown. Q.: In recent weeks I've heard a rumor that officials may risk their playoff eligibility simply for wearing a baseball shirt that is other than navy blue in color. I realize that the NFHS has adopted navy blue as the "approved color" but am wondering why with all the choices out there it's really that critical (to the stage one might lose play-off eligibility) if an official wears black. Certainly we would continue to dress so both (all) officials wore the SAME color. Could you please shed some light on this? A.: Not certain where the rumor began or where you heard it.i do not recall having been quite as blunt as that. When meeting with the interpreters this spring we did have a conversation about umpire dress. I did outline an expectation that umps ought to follow the rules. Navy first and since many high school umps also do softball, powder blue would be an acceptable alternate. I did acknowledge hearing about one or two situations in the past - umps in shorts, in red, etc. I can't say I'm pleased about that, primarily for two reasons. First, at the root of the uniform requirement is an effort to make/keep high school umpiring affordable to officials. Secondly, I hear the comments from coaches and other umps about a.) The umps began the game by "ignoring the rules and then it only got worse" and, b.) non-high school approved colors is "interpreted" by some as individualism and/or arrogance or that my opinion/desire/self interest is more important then the rules of the game. You or others might refute the above, for countless numbers of reasons. That's ok. I've only attempted to outline why I would discourage going GQ in umpiring apparel. These are just a couple quick/hasty explanations, it might be broken down further, I suppose. Either way, I don't think either of those messages are necessarily good ones. Lastly, if baseball umps wish to effect a change of umpire uniform, there is a means to attempt to bring that about, both at the NF level as well as the WIAA level. Q.: Last night at the baseball rules interpretation the interpreter for the meeting indicated that waivers must be obtained for coaches who are not in identical uniforms with the players. A few of our coaches have a slightly different style of pant (narrow instead of wide stripe on the side) and three of them do not have a jersey simply because of cost considerations. Is it OK if they wear school pullovers, baseball t- shirts, etc., for games? Is there a specific procedure for obtaining such a waiver? A.: The interpreter is 100% correct and it's not a new rule or recent change. National Federation baseball rules provide that a coach must be in the team uniform in order to occupy a coaches box. When there have been extenuating circumstances documented by school administration and supported with a written request, we have quite routinely provided a waiver. Q.: Does the coaching uniform requirement apply to all levels? (JV, frosh, etc.) A.: Yes, it really does apply. It is a fundamental playing rule. The only deference made can be found in the WIAA's Spring Season Regulations, p.5 #15 - STATE ASSOCIATION REGULATIONS: (which provides that) "Nonvarsity teams shall be allowed to wear old varsity uniforms, which might now be unapproved, provided participant safety is not jeopardized." This does not change the fundamental rule which applies to a coach.

The proposed six amendments to the Constitution, Bylaws and Rules of Eligibility are intended to relax long-standing regulations for summertime competition, practice and participation, as well as for residence and transfer eligibility. Three of the proposed amendments apply to the school competition and practice requirement Bylaw, as well as the nonschool participation article of the Rules of Eligibility. If approved, the action would permit schools to sponsor camps, clinics, practices or competitions in the summertime during the approved unrestricted contact period for students in grades 9-12 in every sport sponsored by a school. Last year, the Board of Control determined the summertime contact period to be up to five days for all sports except football, which has a four-day window that must be consecutive. The period extends from the end of school to July 31. In essence, what this does is remove the restrictions of what schools, teams and coaches choose to do within the allowed contact period as long as the activities are strictly voluntary and available to all interested students and may include students from other schools. It virtually gives coaches the opportunity to provide the same instruction, workout and direction in the summer that would take place in a practice or competition during the sports season. To clarify further, the key to the summertime window of contact is the word unrestricted. Coaching contact outside the proposed unrestricted contact window is still permitted throughout the summer in the sports of baseball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, and wrestling. The difference is the contact outside the unrestricted window may not be sponsored by the school; it may not resemble a school s team practicing or competing; and it may not be limited to individuals on the basis of school affiliation, athletic experience or team status. Such a change has the potential to heighten the expectations on coaches during the summertime. In time, will those same expectations be passed on to the student-athletes? Will this opportunity become a requirement for coaches and players alike? For the multi-sport DAVE ANDERSON Deputy Director DEBRA HAUSER Associate Director TOM SHAFRANSKI Assistant Director MARCY THURWACHTER Assistant Director TODD CLARK Communications Director athletes, will they need to make a commitment to one sport over another during the summer, or will they be participating in practices over the course of several weeks? The positive and the not-so-positive dimensions of such a change can and has been debated. Now we need to determine what s in the best interest of everyone involved. Two of the amendments to be voted on apply to the residence and transfer articles in the Rules of Eligibility. The proposed change would provide immediate nonvarsity eligibility to student-athletes that are not eligible for varsity competition because of existing rules for transfers, for students not residing in the same district as the school they attend, for foreign students not participating in an exchange program that has the Full listing status by CSIET and for nonpublic school students not living with their parents. The purpose of the proposal is to allow exchange and transfer students, who have consent from both schools directly involved, some opportunity to participate on a team and enhance their overall high school experience. The only instances whereby transfers would not be eligible for either varsity and/or nonvarsity competition applies to those who transfer more than once in a given school year and those whose attendance at a school is result of recruiting or undue influence. The amendment focuses on the best interest of the student-athlete, and at the same time maintains the integrity of our residence and transfer rules. Although some displacement of student-athletes on teams at nonvarsity levels may occur, it gives those who transfer without consideration of posturing for status in athletics the chance to be part of something we believe is important to the overall educational experience. The final amendment to be voted on is intended to maintain the integrity of membership in the Association. Approval of the amendment would prevent a school from being reinstated into the Association for four years after it voluntarily terminated its membership. This would require more of a commitment by schools to the Association and deter schools from joining on a short-term basis because of external pressures. The future will dictate the impact these amendments will have on the membership. But it doesn t take much of a prognosticator to imagine the impact the proposed changes will have on our traditional summers and our nonvarsity teams. See you at the Annual Meeting on April 27!
