I do have the answer. Bob provided it to me and to everyone else reading this forum.

He doesn't have to in order to READ and pass on an OFFICIAL NFHS written ruling. He's not interpreting it and neither am I.

Why not?
Do you have an official written statement from the NFHS which says that it is no longer in force? NOPE
Do you have a more current ruling from the NFHS? Nope, you have an email expressing the "opinion" of some guy in Illinois who might give you a playoff game. The way you bow down to this email one would think that it was written on a stone tablet and given to Moses on the mountain top!
I've got news for you, even your big shot Illinois man is fallible.
(BTW, I bet that this guy's email doesn't say to ignore that six year-old ruling or that it is incorrect. It is quite likely that he doesn't even know about its existence. Why don't you send it to him and see what he says specifically about it? When he responds you can post it here for everyone to see. Come on now, don't be scared. )

No one is claiming anything of the sort.

What is being stated is that an official interpretation issued by real people on the NFHS rules committee, which was posted here by a forum member for everyone to read, has priority over everything else when it comes to NFHS basketball until that same body says otherwise.
Yet you prefer the personal opinion of one man in Illinois typing on his computer.

Then again, perhaps you believe that that interpretation wasn't really written by people, but by aliens!
