Mark,
Gotta disgree that the NF expects eveyone to know all the previous rules.
Basketball rule are not like the law. very rarely is the law republished once per year. The only one that comes close in the CFR that if I remember right is republished every two years.
Stand by your ruling of 31 years and when a coach says show me in the rulebook you still wont be able to. You just cant do it. Tell the coach it was there 10 years ago but not now but that is still Federation intent. That and fifty cents might get you a cup of coffee at Denny's, after you have scrape him of the floor cause he is laughing so hard
As I said before... we laugh at coaches who chat rule myths at us but what you are suggesting is that. Just admit it is not in the rule book, its not in any other current publication of NF. It just aint there... That's what we get paid the big bucks for using judgement to interpret rules. If you want ot use old stuff to help that's ok, but dont expect everybody else to.
