"then shouldn't you go by their rules?"
We are not talking rules here, Big John. We are talking interpretation of the rules. ASA 8.2.F has almost the identical wording to NFHS (fielding a batted ball). But ASA offers a more detailed explanation in POE 32, while the NFHS Case Book does not.
That was my dilemma on the field, but in a fraction of a second I saw the ball deflected and knew that I wasn't going to call interference. I remembered a discussion about this call on this board within the last few weeks, and, I believe, an opinion rendered by Mike Rowe.
But that was an ASA viewpoint, and Saturday night, when I tried to justify my call, I could not find support in the NFHS books.
