Wrong as usual Rut.
From the "Intent and Purpose" section of the NFHS Rules book: "A player or a team should not be permitted an advantage which is not intended by a rule. Neither should play be permitted to develop which may lead to placing a player at a disadvantage not intended by a rule." Since the 3-in-the-key rule was put in to prevent Lew Alcindor from posting up next to the basket and getting the ball for an easy slam dunk, the intent of that rule is pretty easy to figure for most officials.

I guess that said all violations should be considered based on advantage/disadvantage principles? I guess that is under Rule 11? No Z, with every rule there is intent and a purpose, but advantage/disadvantage is only covered in the
actual rules under Rule 4-27. You might want to believe that, but I do not see under the POEs this year, "only call traveling when there is an advantage gained." When I see that passage, I will believe you. Better yet, when they ask a question on your beloved test, I will really believe you. But they do not ask question on the test that come before or after Rule 1 and Rule 10. When they do, ask a test question about who the Publisher and Editor are, I will believe you.
