7.6.3 Situation B (as 7.6.4 Situation B) last appeared in the NFHS Basketball Casebook in 2014-15 and was not in the 2015-16 casebook.

The continuing validity of old Points of Emphasis, vanished casebook plays, and annual one-time only interpretations (with no relevant rule changes or interpretation changes to invalidate such), was discussed.

Ms. Atkinson stated that as long as there are no relevant rule changes, or interpretation changes, to invalidate such, old vanished interpretations are still officially considered to be valid by the NFHS. She also stated that usual reason for still valid casebook plays to be dropped is due to page limitations, when a new caseplay goes in, one usually has to come out.

Nice announcement. Good to know the official position of the NFHS, but practically speaking ...

... you don't know what you don't know.
