Because we weren't officiating games the way the rules were telling us to. The NFHS tried on several occasions to get us to. Finally they just said the 4 automatics are what is listed in the 2011-12 10-6 rule, they do have an affect on RSBQ and that it isn't open for interpretation.

I was never told that is what the rules were. People used more RSBQ, but for 10-6-12, we do not use RSBQ. The minute those things happen, they are fouls. I do not wait for anything to decide a foul needs to be called.
