That was the first year I started officiating (in college), and it was not a part of the IHSAA or the IGHSAU adaptations.

I do, however, recall being warned when I played (late 80s early 90s) that if an official asked you to raise your hand, you were better off doing it regardless of what the actual rule said.

Sort of like officials enforcing the old lack of action (or whatever it was called) rule long after it disappeared from the book.

I guess it is not a correctable error at this point.
