periodically the discusion comes up about allowing electronic devices in the dug out. HFHS adopted some new language in July that is more electronic friendy for softball. Thought i would share (Team Mom probably already knew it though)
With the addition of Rule 1‐8‐6, team personnel are permitted to use electronic devices to transmit or record information pertaining to their players or team’s performances. This is to be done only in the team’s bench or dugout areas, and the information obtained may be used for coaching purposes during the game.
“The committee felt that with the advancement of technology, it was time to allow electronic devices to be used,” said Theresia Wynns, NFHS director of sports and officials education and staff liaison for softball. “It focused on what was good for softball and that the devices could be a useful tool to aid in coaching.” source July 10 http://www.ohsaa.org/news/sports/2014So ... hanges.pdf
