Since I made the reference, I'll explain. I was differentiating between officials who seem to want to officiate the game based on the rules, and officials who officiate based on their own agenda. like it or not, if you deviate from the rules because you think it's more fair that way, you're still playing by your agenda. It may be a bit more altruistic in motive than Tim Donaghy, but the end result is not much diffferent.

Part of the problem with the NFHS rules is that there appears to be no discussion, open about there rule changes. Probably because they kick everybody out who disagrees with them. That's exactly how we end up with rules that are old and outdated, quite frankly dumb, and rule changes that makes no sense. AP arrow doesn't change after a kick ball violation. We really needed that one changed.
Nice, you disagree with their result, so they must not have listened to people who disagree with them? That's a leap of logic.
