You seem to lack a basic understanding of spirit and intent of the rules. JMO though.

I guess by being so predicated on the rules and their exact meaning that you have never had a problem with a coach.
Is it within the spirit and intent of the rule? NO, IT IS THE FREAKING RULE!!!!!

Do you own a rule book? If so, please read NFHS rule 10-3-5(b) and case book play 10.3.5. If you like, I'll look up the NCAA citations that also say that you're completely wrong.

That's an awfully basic rule not to know- at the NFHS and NCAA levels.
