Intent doesn't work when it's contrary to the written rule. If they chose to straighten it out next year, great. But until then, I enforce the rule as written.

I agree with Camron...our association has already talked about this. We are instructed to follow the "intent" of the powerpoint.

Soooo...would you still "enforce the rule as written" and go against what your local association wants?

I'm going with BBR. Coaches wouldn't know what the spirit or intent of the rule was then or now.

No more or less than they would no what the specific wording says.
