You are definitely correct in this statement. Nobody really has to referee to the rules. The rules are there as a guide and is referred to in certain situations. You know this and I know this.

That's not quite what Rut was getting at, I think. His point is not that referees can disregard the rules, only that various leagues (and nations) are free to adopt whatever rules they choose. FIBA or NFHS have no jurisdiction over those leagues who are unwilling to submit to them.
