This new rule, known by some as the "Jack Cochoran" (sp?) rule, is absurd. While I believe that it is important to keep the integrity of the game intact, it's just rediculous that a head coach could be suspended for having prepared well for the opponent. I realize that the intent of the rule was to restore the idea of sportsmanship at the high school level, but the rule doesn't account for the instances where one team is simply better than the other. However, I think that what Jack Cochoran has done in the past (winning games 90-0) is wrong but you can't punish other coaches for his disregard or lack of respect for his opponents.
