I would love to hear IAABO's official stance on this, bearing in mind also that any IAABO response is for information only and is not a valid NFHS ruling or interpretation in most states.

I await your response.

It does not matter whether one is a member of IAABO or not. The Tower Philosophy applies to fouls and fouls only, not to violations. I do not know of any IAABO Board Interpreter or IAABO publication that advocates applying the Tower Philosophy to violations, considereing the fact the Oswald Tower was a member of IAABO if my memory is correct.
