You are obviously out of touch as to the manner in which some other states handle the NFHS and filter things all the way down to the individual leagues in some instances regarding rule interpretations. FED rules may form the "vast basis" of the rule book but there are certain things that are left to the governing leagues. Just because you or an esteemed state interpreter from Washington say something should be ruled in a particular manner has absolutely no bearing on folks in my area.
AFAIK I'll rule in the manner in which I'm expected to rule in MY area. If that makes me less of an umpire in the NFHS's eyes then so be it.
You're tilting at the wrong windmill in some instances.
