Agree completely with Howdy.
As far as changes the rules, there are two governing bodies that make the rules what they are.
1. The NCAA writes the official rules.
2. The UIL carves out official exceptions to those Rules.
As officials, we don't have any pull with either organization. The UIL is make up of superintendents, so coaches are far more in the know and have the pull when it comes to the governing body that can work with the rules that the officials. We do our best to interpret them and call them as best we can, but we don't have a dog in the fight when it comes to writing the rules.
