Now I am confused about exactly what you folks do back there. Could you provide some more detail?
1. Do you use straight NCAAW rules for these games or a hybrid of those and NFHS?
2. Same question for your mechanics. Although you have indicated that these are not done by the NCAAW book.

Here's why I ask:

Under NFHS this would be a double foul. The two officials are not permitted to come together and decide upon only one call.
Under NCAAW, the two officials are to get together and decide upon a single call. It is my understanding that a double foul is not permissible in this case.

So which way do you do it in NY?
We use NCAAW rules with a few small modifications. The mechanics are given to us by the state.

If your fantasy is to have HS and college rules be the same, why is it unfortunate that that's almost exactly what we do here in NY on the girls side?
