Situation C reads "fans from the visiting team are using artificial noisemakers during an opponent's attempted free-throw."(same play in 2002-03 casebook) The 2003-04 ruling for situation C reads: "The officials should notify game management to have a public address announcement made stating that the use of artificial noisemakers is prohibited at all times"

Last years casebook(2002-03) ruling: "The officials should notify game management to have a public address announcement made stating that the use of artificial noisemakers is prohibited other than during the permitted times".

I prefer the 2002-03 ruling.

Yeah, I kicked it; they are slightly different worded situations. I guess only real noisemakers are allowed this year and artificial ones are totally banned. Now, I rememeber that from out rules meeting in September.
Thanks.
