PS - I commend everyone beside my self for not pointing out an obvious opening by DeNucci to dive into the gutter.

What did I do now?

P.S. I checked with two of my friends (yes I have friends) who officiate basketball in Indiana, and they told me that official who made the goofy ruling in the original post does not know what he is talking about because the IndianaHSAA has made no such ruling. And besides it is the NFHS that would have to make the final interpretation. But that is another discussion isn't it.

Technically, the NFHS does not have final authority on interps. State have final say, however, most state interptreters would go to the NHFS for direction, but they are not required to do so.

At least this is what the NHFS told me a few years ago when I tried to get an interp.

Technically, it is the NFHS's responsiblity to make the final interpretation. There is only one rule, and one intepretation. And in the past few years there has been a tendency for the NFHS to not want to make a final interpretation, and the NFHS has been rightly criticized and shown the errors if its ways.
