Thus, anybody interested in officiating NCAA-M basketball will follow the edict handed down by Art Hyland until such time he can be convinced it is incorrect.

What is most distressing is the fact that Art is an lawyer. Why is that important? Language! The meaning of words and what words are used to craft a contract, an appeal, or legislation. If Art is the author of the "upward motion" in this year's rule change or the last sentence in Play 2's Comment then he should be ashamed because he either allowed or used language that was so vague as to be absolutely useless.

P.S. And he is still incorrect and I am correct.
