I get it. He's only on the current FED rules committee and he's only your state interpreter. Sooooooooo......... there's no reason to ask him because your opinion is more valid anyway than any old rules committee member/state interpreter. After all, his opinion is only the same as a first year official in Nevada.

Now who was it that admonished Rainmaker above by stating "If you didn't ask about it and are unwilling to, just say so."?

Iirc someone also posted above "I'm only concerned with learning the truth about how the NFHS wants this play officiated".

And, of course this person whose knowledge is unsurpassed, as we've been told, also pontificated "It is important that you are willing to entertain new ideas and aren't closed off to considering things in a different light. That is the path to improvement. So many people are convinced that the way that they have always done it is the right way and the only way. They come up with certain standards on their own, which aren't solidly grounded in the rules then hold onto them tremendously when confronted.by another point of view simply because that has been their way of thinking for such a long time.It is often hard to let go of previously held convictions and learn new ones." Boy, I'll bet the all-knowing sage that wrote that would never dream of NOT contacting an NFHS official rules source to get a ruling on something being disputed.

Iow, do as I say, not as I do. For some reason, you remind me of Reggie Jackson and his expounding of the "Magnitude of Me". The only difference is that you're much more verbose than Reggie.
