Do we have the rule support in saying that 45 could have been a numbering exception; therefore, he remains ineligible after the shift...even though the K coach argues that 18 and 30 were his exceptions?

Patton, you can come up with all the if's you would like but 18, 30, and 45 will remain ineligible throughout the down.
