My state has been giving out these guides for free to everyone that attends a rules interpretation meeting for about 3 or 4 years now. I am not an IAABO member, but I have seen the IAABO rulebooks. Well this year all the Simplified and Illustrated books are produced only by NASO and also give interpretations directly from the NF. So Nevada was right on this issue. If there is a specific mechanic for the team control foul, it will likely be in the guide and might even be in the Simplified and Illustrated book. This is not Referee Magazine producing this on their own or creating case plays out of the sky. This is content the NF produces so more people can see the content.

If you hit basketball, those are the official products that NFHS offers for sale on their website and through approved state associations. NASO is simply a supplier, similar to the publishers/printers of the rule and case books. Note that there is the new Simplified and Illustrated book for sale on the NFHS site.
NASO may have produced that particular book
for the FED using NFHS supplied-material, and may also be re-selling that NFHS officially-approved book, but NASO is
NOT producing the content
per se . They are
re-producing FED-supplied content only, the same as whoever prints the rule and case books for the FED.
Iow, if you see something in Referee magazine, that does
not necessarily mean that what you're reading is a NFHS-approved rule, interepretation or mechanic. It may be, but it also may
NOT be. That was my point.
