Is a drop ball permitted in high school for an injury stoppage? For some reason, I thought this rule was revised. I see it used sparingly, when possession can't be determined. I am having a problem finding any rule revision in NFHS rulebooks.
Clarification is appreciated.

If play is stopped and one team has possession, including the gk, the correct restart is an IFK from the position of the ball, not the injury. This has not changed for as long as I can remember.

Thank you sir. I don't know where I picked that notion up from. Jeez, I'm making up rule revisions. I knew I'd lose it one day; I just thought I'd have more time.
Section 9-2 clearly lays that out. It also has an interesting tidbit on when the ball goes out of bounds and the last touch can't be determined. If people honestly followed that rule, I think we'd see more drop balls.

If people honestly followed that rule, I think we'd see more drop balls. I did not want to bring this up, because it would confuse people. Yes it is actually written that simultaneous touches that go out result in a drop ball. But think about if this happens right next to the goal and the ball goes out - we would have to give a drop ball at the 6, right in front of the goal. Hardly a just result. We were taught and still teach to make a decision instead of confusing the hell out of everyone.
