Didn't the NFHS add wording like this to the basketball rules last year?

Yes. As a Note to 2-2-4.

The language in the note that Scrapper1 asked about was inserted last year.

Some might say the language giving officials "clerical authority" through the completion of reports, etc. is in response to the Massachusetts handshake "rule."

Rule 6-4-5: "The opportunity to make an alternating-possission throw-in is lost if the throw-in team violates. If either team fouls during an alternating-possession throw-in, it does not cause the throw-in team to lose the possession arrow. If an opponent commits a violation during the throw-in, the possession arrow is postponed."

Would this wording be better (and still true):

The opportunity to make an alternating-possession throw-in is lost if the throw-in team violates. The throw in-team will not lose the possession arrow if:

• Either team fouls during the throw in, or
• The opponent commits a violation during the throw-in.

Absolutely correct. So I wonder why the part that I quoted in my original post is highlighted as new in this year's book? Another editorial snafu?

I remembered the "clerical" part of the note from last year's changes, but the state association "interceding" part didn't ring a bell.

Strange.
