For that and some reasons mentioned above, I am not buying Mary's ruling either.

That was my understanding too. Right at the front of the rules and case book is a little printed message that states:
"Requests for basketball rules interpretations or explanations should be directed to the state association responsible for the high school basketball program in your state. The NFHS will assist in answering rules questions from state associations whenever called upon".
We already have a reply on this one from Arizona that should be official, and now we have a different reply from the NFHS rules editor. That's why I think I'll wait to see something in writing come down from the NFHS.
Btw, that's an old trick that you picked up on Mark using. It's always easier to convince someone if you just supply info that will support your stance. I useta use that one at budget time every year- before I retired. The best way to present this situation is to just send the details and simply ask for a ruling and explanation.
