The sponsor said superintendents and coaches requested the technical change to ensure coaches may speak with teams during halftime while preserving student privacy. Under the amendment, coaches may enter at halftime only after the team captain confirms players are clothed and subject to other procedural safeguards referenced by the sponsor.
