I didn't say it
Again, I didn't say it "our interpreter in MD said that the NFHS interprets the rule to mean the player leaves if the clock is stopped". I did not say it and I still think it contradicts or at least extends what it says in the book.
Of course, on the surface it does not matter whether the rules are different from state to state. The problem is interstate games and multi-state officials like me. Even then it would not matter if one state said "this is the rule", without saying the NFHS said so.
