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.

But I think that at the time the Peter made his intepretation he was the NFHS Basketball Rules Committee Chairman.
