Indy_Ref,
Interpretations overrule every time.
You know that. Quit teasing.

True, but the NF should not post an interpretation that cannot be explicitly supported by the rulebook!

Yabut..., the option of recalling/reprinting all the rulebooks to eliminate/modify a coupla words doesn't make sense when the interpretation route is available. ;)

On a side note: My NCAA assigner said that in the NCAA, as long as a player establishes LGP on the PLAYING COURT, he/she can move ANYWHERE to continue playing defense...even if it means moving out-of-bounds. [/B][/QUOTE]One last question,even though we've beaten this to death:

What do think your NCAA assignor would say if you told him that you <b>would not</b> follow his interpretation above because you personally thought that it was wrong?

Can you tell me if there's a similar interpretation concerning the out of bounds defender in the FIBA rules?

Thanks

I'm guessing he would probably say, "Darn, can't fit you into my schedule this season. We'll try again next year."

;)

Yes, but I also noticed a place at the top of the interpretation page that says something like:

Printing errors and corrections...

And after each interpretation situation, it says Ruling...

I would imagine they could correct the printing errors in one of these places?

But, Indy_Ref, wouldn't that make it too easy? :)

Probably...and then this forum might die out...

we don't want that!

[/B][/QUOTE]I completely agree with that.

Gee, I wonder if high school assignors work the same way with refs that won't follow approved rules interpretations? :D

JR,

The only thing missing from your last nana-nana, doo-doo post was...

"When in Rome,..."

By the way, there are very FEW high school assigners here in Indiana. AD's & coaches assign most of the games...and basically run everything in terms of officiating.

Indy, you're right. That was my last post

No there is not.

Last I checked. The NCAA rule book and the NFHS rule book are two separate books. In a college game I would use his interpretation. For a HS game I would follow my state interpreters interpretation.

BTW. The college rules committee is almost all coaches where the HS committe is a good mix of coaches and officials.

Hmmm...wonder which one of those facts is a more positive thing?
