Uniformity ???

From BillyMac: "We've been instructed by our local interpreter to verbalize "hard foul", loudly, to the table when reporting a hard foul intentional foul" and "we received these instructions from our local interpreter. I believe that all of the local IAABO boards in our state, Connecticut, have received the same instructions".

From Mark Dexter: "To my knowledge, this isn't a Bd. 8 mechanic".

To Mark Dexter: I believe that this mechanic was introduced about twelve to fifteen years ago. It was wrong of me to assume that our local board mechanic was also a statewide mechanic. For the past several years, anytime our local board varies from any official NFHS or IAABO guidelines, our interpreters have preceeded their explanations with something like "At XXXXday's meeting, all the Connecticut interpreters have decided to ...". Maybe we weren't acting in such a uniform manner back then. Sorry.
