I'm willing to bet that the NFHS has not thought of this scenario. And if they did, the certainly wouldn't want BI called.

My thoughts exactly,Tony. I think that the FED would just follow the common-sense NCAA lead. [/B][/QUOTE]
Tony, that may be true, but don't you think that the play should be called according to what is explicitly written in the rulebook and official's manual until we're told to do otherwise? I just don't see how you can disregard the explicit instructions concerning this call. Aren't we always saying that you can't apply college or NBA mechanics, rules or philosophies to our high school games? What makes this particular play different?
JR, I am with you wholeheartedly. Add the NCAA exception to the FED rulebook. But until then, I think I'm required to call the play according to the rules and instructions ("regardless of how it got there") that I'm given.
