A basketball official can't pick and choose either. A ruling issued by one authority doesn't have any merit in the realm of another.

What you want to do would be the same as a judge applying the law in Michigan to a case in Ohio. While the subject matter may be the same, it just doesn't pertain.

Actually, in the absence of controlling authority in a state, judges DO consider rulings from other states as "persuasive" authority. I think the same applies here: in the ensconce of NFHS authority a ref can CONSIDER the logic of NCAA rulings to help do his own analysis.
