Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Big difference, TS. The NFHS makes the rules. IAABO just interprets those NFHS rules. IABBO interpretations are also only valid in states where they have been appointed as that state's governing rules body. From what you are saying, that is the situation in Colorado. It's true in a few states in the NorthEast too. Iow IAABO, as Colorado's governing rules body for basketball, can test you any way that they choose as to your knowledge of NFHS rules. They can also interpret for Colorado any NFHS rules that may be a l'il fuzzy. What IAABO
can't do (within limits) is change any of the NFHS rules or case book plays.
The IAABO rule book consists of the NFHS rule book and case book- verbatim.
