Did you ever think that maybe there might be HS officials that do have the "awareness", but also think that this pro philosophy should NOT be applied at the HS level?

Of course! I never said that it
should be used at the HS level (although I personally do use it in my HS games). I merely pointed out that this particular pro-oriented philosophy is not used as much in HS games. Can't really argue with that, can you? That's for one of two reasons: either the HS official isn't aware of the philosophy (or the game situation), or the HS official intentionally doesn't apply pro philosophies to his/her HS games. Neither reason necessarliy makes the HS official a bad official.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to get the impression that you may be looking down your nose at officials that might not agree with you that pro philosophies should apply at the HS level.

C'mon! I hope you know me better than that, JR. My two games do not qualify me to look down my nose at anybody. If I was going to be snooty, you think I'd stick around after all the times you post that squirrel?!?!?!
