It's not that I don't believe Illini_Ref. I just think the private 'ruling' afforded him is inconsistent with the written rules and that the written rules are not currently superseded by any of the current public 'rulings' posted by the IHSA. It simply wouldn't occur to me to contact either Ganaway or Laude on something spelled out so clearly in the rules. I simply don't see anything gray or unclear.

Grab the inside back or side collar of the shoulder pads or jersey of the

A
runner is a player who is in possession of a live ball or is simulating possession of a live ball.
Where's the gray? What's not clear?
