I understand that the NF destroys old books. I am sure they might keep some around, but they destroy most of the books. Or that is what someone was told when trying to get old books for a football class that is run in our area. This might be one example as to why you cannot get these books from past years.

I was living in Austria that year and did not officiate NFHS basketball.

This has always been my point when we look at several year old rulings. These rulings may not always apply and sometimes they change without warning. I would not be surprised if there was another ruling in that time frame that contradicted this ruling back in 2000-2001. I think you need a copy of all the rulings from 2001-2006 to know for sure if this still stands. Either way it goes, ask your local people what they think. If you want to inform them of every ruling known to man, do that as you see fit.
