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.

Give us a break, Mark. All the NF did was include SPF in the definitions. They DID NOT change the way they are handled. FTs should not have been shot last year and they should not be shot this year. If you based your interpretation solely on Dr. Schindler's intrep last year, then you ignored the rules. It was already cited as being an AP sitch in Rule 6. The only change was the inclusion into 4-19-9. As for the case book play, it was obviously written for your benefit.
I would still allow a lineup if requested. However, how is a new official supposed to know about all the rulings that have occurred in the past 31 years?
Like I said, you need to get over yourself. None of us are the last word in officiating, rules, or intepretations. We all miss'em. Lose the ego, partner.
