You cannot issue a delay of game warning because:
1) The ball becoming live was not delayed.
2) The posted play is not has not a single thing to do with three delay of game warning situations listed in the NFHS Rules. And these warnings are found in NFHS R4-S46-A1, A2, and A3.
S46: A warning to a team for delay is an administrative
procedure by an official which is recorded in the score-
book by the scorer and reported to the coach:
A1: For throw-in plane violations as in R9-S2-A11.
A2: For huddle by either team and contact with the free
thrower, as in R10-S1-A5c.
A3: For interfering with the ball following a goal as
in R10-S1-A5d.
R9-S2-A11: A player shall not violate the following pro-
visions of the throw-in. Furthermore: The opponents(s)
of the thrower shall not have any part of his/her person
through the inbounds side of the throw-in boundary-line
plane until the ball has been released on a throw-in
pass.
NOTE: The thrower may penetrat the plane provided
he/she does not touch the inbounds area before the
ball is released on the throw-in pass. The oppoenent
in this situation may legally touch or grasp the ball.
See penalty.
This is why you do not issue a delay of game warning for the throw-in violation by the team making the throw-in. I have to believe, that if Mary Struckhoff and Dick Knox are saying that a delay of game warning as part of the posted play, they did not understand the play. The delay cannot be issued for the posted play because it just is not covered by R4-S46.
As I have stated previously, do NOT issue a delay of game warning under R4-S46, the rule does not support such action.

OK,Mark,I finally got a definitive answer from you.Mary Struckhoff,Dick Knox,NCHSSA and supposedly 3 members of the IAABO executive committee have given out an incorrect interpretation of this sitch.Mark T. DeNucci Jr. has the correct interpretation.Just wanted you to come right out and say it.
