Sort of like the clarification of the backcourt exception limiting it to three situations rather than any situation which does not involve active Team Control.
My opinion is that it is exactly what it says it is...and no amount of Randalizing is gonna change that. The rule did NOT change.

The Fed stated that it was a clarification of an existing rule, just the same as case plays are. Clarifications are NOT rules changes.
