backcourt question from Rulebox

[JRutledge]

We need to stop paying attention to interpretations that are years old and have clear contradictions to the actual rule. It really is that simple as far as I am concerned.

You know I agree with this statement. Why would the FED not just can this stupid interp?

Do you realize that the person who was the NFHS basketball rules editor when the interp was issued is no longer working there and a new person has taken over?
It is likely that the new person isn't even aware of the old interp. If that's the case, then how can this person issue a statement nixing it?

Who said they didn't? It is this site that holds onto these interpretations. I have never seen anyone ever reference these interpretations unless you have them in a file somewhere on your computer. Otherwise if it is not in the casebook or the current year, the NF is doing a lot of faith recognition to hope we remember what was done 3 or 4 years ago, let alone 5 to 10 years ago.
