In my opinion, JR's description is more accurate.

Despite what MTD says, IAABO as an organization did make certain interpretations that were different or later conflicted with NFHS issued interpretations.

The recent 3 FTs for one technical foul for the player coming off the bench and blocking 3pt try is an example. This year the NFHS said it is two Ts which results in 4 FTs.

I've working in states both with IAABO and without. I've good experiences with both. Both organizations try hard to improve and teach officials.
It is just that anything IAABO decides doesn't apply to where I am currently.

Furthermore, there are certain rule modifications or interpretations that are specific to states/areas. Again MTD disagrees here, but unfortunately, there are places that just don't use the NFHS rules and interps in their entirety.

For an example, MA plays halves instead of quarters. Then there are the states which use a shot clock.
