I was going to quote the thing that I had a question about, but I couldn't find the original statement when I went looking for it!

What reasoning would be used by the assignors in College or higher in stating that Block/Charge calls made behind the plane of the backboard should be called as blocks? It seems to me that the area behind the backboard is no different than anywhere else on the court, with the obvious exception of not being allowed to pass over the backboard if it is rectangular.

Also, not to open a can of worms, but why do the assignors have the ability to make their own rules interpretations? Is this part of the job? In High School, as far as I understand it, we have a rules interpreter who handles that aspect, but his interpertations come from the state association. The assignor schedules games.
