There are casebook plays that have not been in the Casebook for over ten years, but since the rule has not changed these casebook plays are still valid.

If I run into a Supreme Court justice at Starbucks and he tells me what a certain case means, it has absolutely no standing. Only what the court says in formal decisions matter.
That is the point I was making. If they are in writing, they matter. If they are said to a single association, no matter the setting, they are informative and important, but they have no impact on those who did not hear the talk.

I have contacted Peter several times for rules interpretations. As much as I respect his position, it has only limited authority until the NFHS adopts his opinions as formal rules, comments or case book plays. I have used Peter several times as a source on this forum and each time have been reminded of that.
