Here is the bottom line. I do not care what Situation 13 says. Not because I want to disagree with the NF, but they put out contraditory information. Again, I had this very same conversation with an IHSA Clinician, who I work with on their crew on Saturdays. He clearly said that situation was wrong to what was said on the NF Powerpoint Presentation. If you officiate in Illinois, you saw the Powerpoint Presentation. Our state does not give out rulings off the internet. Right or wrong, we are clearly told to consider this a PSK situation and R getting the ball with clean hands. Maybe that is because we have a lot of college officials in my area and that is the NCAA ruling. Whatever the reason, this was what we were told way before the season said.
Now the moral of the story, do what you state tells you. Do what your association tells you. Do what your assignor tells you. I officiate 3 sports, it is clear to me that states can and do whatever they want to do if their "head people" say, "we want to handle it this way." Best example of that is the way we are suppose to handle our sidelines in Illinois this year. And the way we are doing that, is not a NF Ruling or supported mechanically. The NF dropped the ball on this one with the different information. It is clear they did not think it through and that is why we are debating it back and forth. Situation 13 was not discussed in our meetings, so personally, I do not care what it says.
