I don't mean to be a jerk, but are you suggesting that we need the casebook and interpretations just for officials who don't understand the rules and their applications? It seems to me, that some language in the rules is not entirely clear to rational, intelligent, and experienced officials.
Rick, all BktBallRef is telling you is that sometimes you have to string several different rules together to make the right call. To do that, you have to know and understand all the current rules and case plays. In a perfect world, the FED would issue a case play for every single situation that could possibly come up. That's really not a logical option.

The reason most of us post here is because we're still studying- and still learning. I know I'm in that group.
