So for NFHS rules, what parts of body can not have tape? I see girls with KT tape on their elbows.

Saw similar to this in a tourney about 3 yrs ago. We were getting creamed, and the other team was neither letting up not letting anyone in town miss that they were "all that."23. B1 hits a pitched ball over the outfield fence for a home run. The third base coach slaps B1 on the back and grabs her by the hand as she rounds third base and propels her toward home plate.
Ruling - The coach's actions in this case are not considered physically assisting. He/she has not assisted a runner that was on base and is simply congratulating B1 on the home run. Common sense must prevail. (8.18.Y, p 53)
26. After ball four is called on B2, F2 immediately throws the ball back to F1, who is within the 16- foot circle. R1 dances off third base and is moving back and forth between third base and home as B2 a) trots toward first base, or b) rounds first base and is on her way to second base.
Ruling - in a), LIVE BALL and NO VIOLATION. The Look-Back Rule is not effective until the batter-runner reaches first base or is put out. In b), DEAD BALL and R1 is called out for violating the Look-Back Rule. Although B2's continuous motion towards second base complies with the rule, R1's failure to immediately advance or return does NOT. (8.2, p 41)
I called my first look back last year, it was so obvious, I was shocked when the coach came out to argue. I said to her "do you know what the look back rule is?" she said she did, so I said "well that was a textbook example of it, what's your argument?" She then turned around and walked back to the dugout.I make this call regularly and it causes several coach arguments every year. Look back rule violations are not as difficult as people make them.
