Shouldn't be that interesting,Ace. BktBallRef quoted you the high school rule,and how the NFHS wants it called.Straight from the rulebook.I quoted you the NCAA rule verbatim,and they tell you how they want it called,too. Unless you wanna ignore both rulebooks and make up your own interpretation,I think that you should follow the rules.Especially when both sets of rules have made it a "Point of Empahasis".You got some bad advice at your camp.Your best bet now.if you don't believe us,is to check with your supervisor,if you have one,on how he wants it called in your area.I doubt very much that he will tell you to go completely against the rulebook,but it's basically his job.I've heard some strange things on this forum before.
