During your phone conversation did you, in fact, inquire about the play and point out that it says something directly contrary to his answer or did you just let it go? Since the comment upset you so much, I strongly suspect that the truth is that you didn't ask.

Whether you chose not to pose this question because you don't wish to get on his bad side as he is a big poobah in your area, simply didn't think of the case play during your conversation, or for some other reason or no particular reason at all doesn't really matter.

If you didn't ask about it and are unwilling to, then just say so. It's no big deal. Since you were kind enough to post an email for Howard on the forum, perhaps I'll just ask him myself and then post the response. Afterall, his personal affection doesn't matter to me. I'm only concerned with learning the truth about how the NFHS wants this play officiated.

Have you contacted your own state interpreter yet, Junior? On both the roll-over and double-dribble threads?

When you do, please direct them to the appropriate threads so that he can get all total viewpoints before answering. Please let us know his response....and how we may contact him also to ask further questions.
