I finally figured out the glitch in this question...the question writer is making one assumption while many of us officials are making another. Look at page 59 in the current NFHS
VB Rules Book and I think you'll see the problem.
The question writer is assuming that the line judge is not using flags, but doesn't give us that information in the question. Those of us who referee with line judges who use flags know that the call is an antenna fault.
Of course, I forgot that IHSA doesn't allow the use of flags by line judges...they haven't figured out yet that it is a whole heckuva lot easier to see a flag than to see the hands of a line judge!
