Of the 13 members on the rules committee...

How many officated a HS basketball game last year?

How many frequent Internet discussion forums such as this to become more informed on the rules?

How many read the rule book and case book through last year?

How many of them know the 4 criteria Bob listed above?

I agree that while I may not like the interp, I do call it that way. But being on the rules committee doesn't mean you're above making a mistake.
