So we're going to quibble over an inch or two on these calls?

I'm not, I mainly do middle school games and half of them are girls games.

Billy,

You always make it sound like IAABO is coming out with things totally different from the NF. They actually are not. Maybe they did at one time, but not now. At least not with rules.

So if IAABO stated this, the NF has taken that position as well.

It was clarified in the video and talking to TJ that the rules clarification are coming from the NF.

Peace

True.

A representative from IAABO International has had a seat at the table for the past several NFHS Rule Committee meetings.

I don't know if that will be the case in the future, but I sure hope so.

IAABO represents 15,000 basketball officials, mostly here the United States, and now has a stated goal of trying to expand into places where there are not presently any local or state IAABO boards.

I don't know of a larger national high school basketball officials organization, so I believe that they should have permanent seat at the NFHS Rules Committee table.
