This is one of the things wrong with officiating at the HS level - the lack of consistancy from official to official. The whole point of having an NFHS is to standardize calls. When NFHS puts out a point of emphasis, it is because officals are not interpreting the call the way the NFHS wants it called.

JRut is correct in looking for advantage/disadvantage if that is what his local association asks for, but the state association should be ensuring that the POE is followed throughout the state, or issue its own POE. It is unfair to have teams playing in a statewide tournament facing a new set of interpretations after following a different philosophy for the rest of the season.
