I certainly didn't mean to minimize Mr. Pollard in the least. But you've alluded to my problem. To Coach John Doe or even league admin, Mr. Pollard is just some guy named Henry --- especially if I can't even say, "I got an interp from Henry Pollard"... I have to say, "I got an interpretation from some guy (not to disparage Mr. Rowe either... but the people I'd be talking with don't know him either) on the internet, who says he got it from Henry Pollard."

Like you say - an interpretation that seems to contradict the written rule AND a written caseplay needs to be in WRITING to hold any weight come protest time.
