College officials spend a lot of time and live under the expectations of their supervisors and often hear directly what is expected more than any high school official would be trained on. You are not a college official, so why are you going back and forth about some language you have not been able to live under? I get you having a question, but so often you dissect a rule like you know what happened or what was changed with the rule. Let the folks we have to give that information or help them understand what is happening. I am not even a Women's college officials but understand that they are told to do things that we do not do on the Men's side. And I watch a lot of Women's games because most of my games are coupled with Women's college basketball any time I work. So I see and talk to those officials about things and even I have total blind spots in my knowledge or understanding of their procedures.

Analytical ...
 

Even as a high school official, I was aware of the purpose and intent of the college rule in the thread (Caitlin Clark technical foul), delay, not advantage/disadvantage.

However, as an analytical type person, I expressed an opinion (shared by a few) that the rule language could be better written from a strictly logical and grammatical (not basketball) point of view (same thing true for a few high school rules, see slapping the backboard, a complex compound sentence rule only made perfectly clear by a Point Of Emphasis and a casebook play, both based on purpose and intent).
