I believe that his comments appeared in IAABO's Sportorials magazine. Referee magazine may have played a minor role in this confusion. I remember that I was embarrassed to be an IAABO member because it's IAABO's role to train officials, it's not the role of IAABO to make rule changes, or to interpret rules.

You are not saying that is the current NFHS interpretation, right? I remember a while back we were discussing the rare possibility of a FT shooter, using a jump shot, being fouled while in the act of shooting. Some of us thought that might be ruled intentional since the shooter is entitled to an "unhindered try for goal."
