To now fill in a couple of the gaps: Jr. high around here is totally unregulated.
A school can use anybody they want to call the games. Most do get their officials from one of the associations, but it is also not uncommon for a school to make a deal with one official to handle its games.
"You call them and bring somebody with you."
Such was the case here.
The guy who made the call has been a registered official for 10 years or so, and has a considerable amount of varsity experience.
Apparently both the home coach and the principal both did know the correct rule, and obviously the official in charge did not.
