Remember, the case book is an extension of the rule book. Although something might not be directly stated in the rule book, if there is an interpretation in the case book that states something, you probably want to follow what the CB says. An example that comes to mind is face guarding. This was in the case book for years but never directly stated in the rule book until this year.

Yes, it is annoying that this happens but until the NFHS changes their editorial process, I think we will have to accept this and keep discussing these errors so we all know what is the right call/interpretation.

For a list of CB and RB errors this year, check out my site. I've included a link to the NFHS site where they list all the errors and mistakes.
