But if was important enough for the post to be submitted so it may be important enough to them to find the correct answer.

The issue is not how intrigued you are with the rules. Summer league rules are usually made up rules to keep games moving. Some want to shoot every FT and other leagues want to just keep things moving. I seriously doubt that there is a special interpreter from an association that is going to give a ruling that will be mean much of anything. As someone said, these rules change from week to week and many times have no rhyme or reason.
