He later came back and said he was wrong for telling officials that worked in his conference that, but still
encouraged the same practice in the same breath. Now if you had to work fo this man, you tell me what an official might have to do?


I'd call it like the NFHS wanted. If I even had the slightest notion that the assignor (who thinks he is above the NFHS), was holding that against me, I'd inform the NFHS. No sweat.

I have heard many officials on all boards, in meetings and during pregames say, "I will never call 3 seconds, I will never call a travel during a varsity game and I will never call a T before a game starts.

I think you misinterpret things. I've heard refs say they'll only call 3 seconds as an advantage/disadvantage call. Adv/Dis is in the NFHS rule book so that's consistent. I've never heard a ref say that wouldn't call a travel in a varsity game. That's ridiculous. They wouldn't get any games around here if that was their attitude. I will never call a scorebook administrative T before a game...but that's because I get to the table at 12:00 and have 2 minutes to fix any problems before the game starts. I think you're using selective hearing.
