William C:
My feelings exactly. Seems to me a blatant example of a 'pretended substitution' for the intent of deception. However, some of our brethren disagree on just what constitutes this 'pretended sub'.
I talked to an official who was present at the game but not working it, and he described the play the way I described it in the original post. The newspaper article in HL in NC's post paints a different picture.
In any case, it would be helpful if the NFHS Casebook would address such plays directly. It seems we hear of these plays every year come playoff time.
BTW, are you from the Asheboro area?
