I don't think, for instance, the two-man time-out positioning purported to be approved is something you'd advocate. We've long since reverted to the latest NFHS Officials Manual, using the illustrations in the state Manual that are correct as teaching tools from time to time.

During a Thanksgiving tournament, I found out that the text description and the position of L & T on the court diagram for timeouts with a crew of two didn't match up in the MHSAA manual.
I also noticed that the manual also shows the calling official in a crew of two going opposite and not staying table side.
Quite honestly, I was glad I purchased the NFHS manual prior to last season (2013-14) as it included items that weren't present in the MHSAA manual that brand new officials probably needed to know.
