To my knowledge (which just includes the last couple of years for NFHS), Fed has never used the "ball closer to the fielder than the runner" to officially interpret "about to receive." (At least, I've never seen it in writing.)

It is what I used for Fed games, since I was used to the ASA way and Fed had no contrary explanation.

If Fed has not changed to the international rule, then you should still call it their way.

Those with more Fed experience than I can perhaps shed some light on how Fed clinicians have interpreted the "about to receive" language in the past.
