This school year is my 31st year as a basketball official. That means I have seen a lot of rules, interpretations, and casebook plays come and go. My posting was made based upon 31 years of knowledge of intepretations, casebook plays, and conversations and correspondence with some of the great rules poeople of the NFHS and NCAA. So when I state that the line-up that is referenced in the NCAA rule, is a jump ball line-up, you can rest assured that is exactly what the rules committees wants.

Good grief, Mark! Get over yourself!

You told us last year that on simultaneous fouls, FTs are shot. The NF proved your wrong when they included SPF in Rule 4 this year. Sorry but you are not the last word, no matter what you may think.

BTW, no one here is. We all miss'em from time to time.

One, the NFHS did not prove me wrong regarding simultaneous personal fouls. Prior to this school year there was never on official definition of simultaneous personal fouls in either the NFHS or NCAA rules books. My interpretation for the play that was discussed last year was the same interpretation that was given by the Dick Schindler when he was the NFHS Rules Editor, as well as past and present members of the rules committee. This year the NFHS decided to define simultaneous personal foul and added a casebook play with that definition that made the play consistent with how simultaneous technical fouls are handled.

Concerning the line-up request play, I stand by ruling. It is the correct ruling as decided by the NFHS and until the NFHS publishes a ruling changing it my intepretation is correct because it is the ruling that the NFHS has used for well over forty years.
