Sure would be nice to know to which part of this post you were referring.

The Fed used to have the automatic call by the umpire because NFHS thought it was too difficult for the players and coaches to grasp.
OK, I need to use quote more, as IM does, to make my responses clearer. In this case it wasn't any particular post, just the general problem caused by the play, and wasn't really a response to anyone but a side comment.

Please don't generalize, most NFHS only and most umpires in general had no problem with that change or any other.
