There is one interesting discrepancy between the NCAA and the NFHS case plays. The NCAA case does not tell us what to do if both teams ignore the official's incorrect information and contest the rebound.
Earlier this season, I had a very lengthy discussion of this play with a VERY good D1 official who insisted that as soon as the try is attempted after the incorrect information, you MUST go to the arrow if it is unsuccessful. I told him I was 100% sure that you play on if both teams contest the rebound. He didn't believe me and then eventually said "That may be true in HS, but not in college".
That forced me to look up both case plays. Obviously, I'm right for the NFHS rules, but the NCAA case play simply doesn't support either answer. To me, common sense says that if the players are playing, let them keep playing. But he was adamant that you stop play and go to the arrow.
