I recognize that similar language does not appear in the FED rules book. But, I seem to recall similar language being part of some "official" FED communication (POE, seb-site interp, etc.)

Thank you, Bob. As I recall, it was an interp on the NFHS website. I'm glad someone else remembered it.

Chuck, I am "done" trying to help others understand the correct ruling. But I ususally responded when somebody directs a smartass comment at me.

But I bet you already knew that!
