Camron,
I understand exactly how it works and the legal analogy is a very good one.
However, there are huge law libraries with the Federal Supplement books and computer databases with ALL of those past court decisions in them that are available for purchase no matter how old they are. So a lawyer can go buy the book from 1985 and have a copy of those rulings, if he needs them.

The situation with the NFHS rules books and case books is not like that. Other than MTD, I don't know of anyone that has an extensive library of past volumes of these books. The NFHS does not maintain an archive of them on its website. Furthermore, my state office doesn't have copies from even the past five years.

So, if someone is a new official where are they going to go for this information? How are they ever going to know about an interpretation that was published ten years ago? If it weren't for this forum, I wouldn't know about the 2000-01 rulings because I never saw the books or any interps from that season. I was living in Austria that year and did not officiate NFHS basketball.

So Bob Jenkins how about putting the whole list from that year up for me? Please!
