Disagree completely. The vast majority of officials in both high school and college games
will make the
correct call.
The high school officials will make the correct call because they all own and read the NFHS case book. And NFHS case book play 9.3.2SitB tells them exactly how the play should be called. It's basically the same play as posted above.
College officials will also make the correct call because they own and read the NCAA rule book. And rule 9-4-1AR181 tells them exactly how the play should be called. It's the same play also as posted above.
Both sets of officials also know that they had
better make the correct call too. They have assignors and evaluators to answer to. If they
don't make the correct call, they just might not be seeing the floor in future games.
Rec League Ronnies who don't own rule books and also lack balls will follow Old School's lead, and rationalize it off by saying that they want to let the players decide the game. Unfortunately,
they will decide the game by not calling the violation and screwing the defensive team.
Iow, as usual, ignore the advice(?) above.
