We actually have two Bill Kennedys in Phoenix. Yack and little Bill the NBA official.

Since my little name drop amuses all of you, I'll ask Tommy Nunez and Tommy JR next. Then I'll ask Ron and Darryl Garretson to add their two cents. I'll pose it to Ed Rush after that, you guys will need to call a paramedic you'll be laughing so hard.

BZ -- the question isn't one of authority, it's of interpretation. How does the NF want us to handle these murky situations? College or NBA refs won't help us here. They don't have the authority of the NFHS rules committee. You may be right about how it needs to be handled. Dan may also be right, or the answer may be some compromise between the two positions. The answer is completely unavailable, because it doesn't depend on your logic, my logic or anyone else's logic. It depends on the Rules Committee and what they decide. In the meantime, we have to each do the best we can with how it is called in our associations, or our local high school leagues. That's not something Nunez can help me with -- he doesn't do any high school games around here.
