The only way this is going to be cleared up is use some common sense. The intent of the rule is very clear in the powerpoint and in their explaination of the rule on page 73, where they use the "clean hands" reference there as well to R getting the ball. If they did not intend for R to get the ball, then why even use "clean hands" has their reference at all dealing with this kind of play?
The NF just made mistakes on this, like they did with a couple of other rules they changed this year and they admitted they will have to take care of this year. We just had one of our IHSA Board Members elected to the NF Board, and this has been discussed with him by the folks at the NF. And the double foul was not what was endorced considering their intent of this rule.
