2010 - 2011 Interps

[Nevadaref]

Thanks for the extra effort, Mr. Esteemed Colleague.

Of course, you know as well as I do that the response is about the most ludicrous thing that we've seen come out of the NFHS committee in the last 10 years.

An official not knowing or not properly applying a rule is EXACTLY why rule 2-10 exists. Otherwise there wouldn't be any correctable errors!

Of course, looking at some of the other interps, I'm not surprised.

I disagree. It usually occurs not becasue an official doesn't know a rule but because they either have incorrect information from the scorer or don't get the information. It is not a question of them knowing/applying a rule.

I completely agree. I have had two very obvious correctable error situations in my career and they were preventable if the table gave us the right information. Both I personally asked based on the foul total and was told it was one way when it was the other way. One we could not correct because the time frame had past. The other we caught in time but after the table realized they made a mistake.

In either case, Camron, the officials inadvertently set aside a rule. Whether they knew the rule but didn't get the correct info, or they forgot that you shoot free throws at 7 fouls, they "inadvertently set aside a rule", which resulted in one of the 5 infamous errors.

So while I agree with you that Nevada overstated the case a bit, I think he's correct in saying that not applying the rule correctly (which is what happened in the interp) is EXACTLY why 2-10 exists.

It's tied for first place.
