Why did you not question IAABO at the time? This is why I cannot stand the relying on tests. The NF already had a clear ruling and I am not sure why a coach's question would change that?

If IAABO want to use the NCAA Interpretation that is fine with me but the point is I am making is that the NF already has a clear interpretation in place. If you use the NCAA interpretation, not much the NF is going to do about it.
