Back in the olden days before I came to Oregon, I worked in radio and did play-by-play on HS football and basketball, plus some local college basketball games. During one HS BB game, my color commentator thought an OOB call should not have been called when a player stepped on the line because his defender had committed a "force out". During a spot (in the "business", commercials are called "spots") off the air, I told him there was no such rule in HS. He hardly said a word the rest of the game.
