I agree with you whole-heartedly for this reason alone!
I like how the AD in your article was "unaware" of the rule that required written approval, thereby throwing the official under the bus.
The quote about the official having "good intentions but poor judgement" seems kind of hypocritical to me. Shame on that official for hiding behind the written rulebook!
I wonder, as the article goes on to say, when the rulebook gets rewritten so as to avoid players feeling ostracized and AD's feeling angry and deeply saddened, if there will be an inclusion to give officials amnesty if an when this event ever happens.
Nothing wrong with a little CYA, I suppose... Touchy subject...
