By rule...or by "common sense"? (Is that a loaded question or what?

I ain't a big dog,just an old dog!

I think that the best way to handle this situation is to run it by your rules interpreter,whether it's for your local high school group or for a college conference officiating staff.They may prefer that it be called looser than the language in the appropriate rulebook.They may want it called right by the language.The key is having it called uniformly in your area by your group. If the coaches/players know what to expect,they shouldn't have any complaints.Where you always have problems is when it's a charge one night,and a no/call the next night.JMO.
