"Normally, interpretations issued during the season must be approved by the rules committee at the annual meeting. Those interps that are approved are added to the case book. If this interp is not in the case book, then it was (most likely) not approved and is no longer valid."

I don’t agree. I know of no basis for stating that interpretations issued during (actually just prior to the season) the season by the NFHS are not valid if they don’t eventually appear in the NFHS case book.

I am of the opinion that all NFHS interpretations are valid until explicitly repudiated or overturned by a more recent interpretation or rule change.
