Mark you are ignoring rules that don't pertain to your opinion
Mark,
Yes A4 should happen before the clock starts, no one disagrees with that. However an error was made. We all agree with that. Since an error was made, we have to decide who made the error to decide how to proceed. Since A1 says the timer should start the clock when the official signals, then the error goes to the official. Since the official made the error then we can decide how to handle it. Mark how can you disregard rules, A1 of the rule clearly states that the clock operator is to start it on the the signal from the referee...
As for Mary and her interp, oddly enough I emailed the NFHS to get an interp, the only official interps they will give are to the individual states, not individuals, so by the NFHS own rules that cannot be an official interp. For that and some reasons mentioned above, I am not buying Mary's ruling either. One of the reasons, is this, you gave her your interp basically and asked her to agree or disagree, what you should have done was give her the play and let her come up with her own interp with no undue influence...
