If the state interpreter feels the need, he/she asks NFHS for an interpretation.
The requests to NFHS may be answered by different people, so some states may get different NFHS interpretations for the same situation.
Bottom line you may have many different, but valid interpretations on a state by state basis (unless or until there is a Case Book play, Bulletin, or an official Interpretation posted by NFHS). [/B][/QUOTE]Slider,I can't really correct you on the above.I'm just a little puzzled,though,why you would then insist in another response that the correct call has to be a warning followed by a T?That ruling was issued for North Carolina only by Dick Knox.It also covered a specific case where the team throwing the ball in didn't even attempt to make a legal throw-in.They just put the ball in play.In this case,they still have 5 seconds to make the throw-in.I really don't know if the first ruling would cover this case,too.In your own words above,it also wouldn't necessarily apply to Ohio for Mark T. DeNucci,or to Oregon for Mark Padgett-unless they've been instructed by their state to specifically call it that way.This rule has a grey area in it for most states.
