If you can't come to agreement, call them both. It's really not all that complicated.

It also isn't the point of this thread either, Junker. The point isn't that you should never have a blarge or how to avoid a blarge. The point is that if a blarge actually
does happen, do you then follow the direction of the applicable rule book, be it NFHS, NCAA Mens or NCAA Womens, which is what you said above that you personally would have done? Or would you follow your
own view of how the play should be handled? JoeAdvantage, IRef4Him and MTD Sr. are all basically saying that they would apply the NCAA Womens ruling to all NFHS and NCAA Mens situations, even though both of those ruleset rulings are completely different. Iow, it's the same as applying a FIBA rule to something that happened in a D1 Mens Final Four game, simply because you like the FIBA rule better.
Anyone, feel free to correct me if I mis-read any of those parties' posts, but I think that I interpreted them correctly.
My original question was just simply wondering how everyone feels about JoeAdvantage's (
et al) position that the procedure outlined in the cited NFHS case book play should
not be followed
after a blarge has occurred.
Note that I still haven't given my personal opinion....yet.
