The "swinging elbows/excessive/nonexcessive/contact above the shoulders/intentional/flagrant/foul" Point of Emphasis from 2012-13 disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle for 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16, and 2016-17. Did veteran officials who were around 2012-13 not follow that interpretation in the intervening years before said Point of Emphasis was resurrected in 2017-18, despite the fact that the interpretation wasn't in the "current literature" during those intervening years ?

Agree here: How does the NFHS expect rookie officials to make the correct interpretation regarding that situation during those intervening years.
