Have also used a preliminary on an illegal screen play where everyone sees the illegal screen but there was a push from the offensive player on the screener that not everyone may have seen.

Funny you should mention these.
I'm now waiting for someone to come in and say that a "hit to the head" isn't an approved NFHS signal.
