"But," he said, "the referees got together and he (the official) admitted his mistake, and said he was only trying to warn Woumn. They call it an administrative technical."

My opinion is that he really screwed it up. If he isn't willing to make the effort to properly know the NFHS rules, then he should stick to the NCAA level.
