Knowing you and your stance on certain issues and your posting history, I'm surprised you've given BBR a pass on this.

I don't agree with him not calling a violation on this, but given that the NFHS has made such a huge mess out of player control, team control, and the backcourt violation rule in the past two seasons, it is understandable. It is even likely that he could support his decision with the text of the current rules book and I'm sure that the coaches and players are unclear as to what the decision should be.

I don't blame the official on the court for this situation. I blame the rules book editor of the nfhs.
Poor job with the text and the lack of clarity it causes for how to call such plays.

Btw, I've edited my post in an attempt to make my point directed more generally rather than to either of these specific individuals. I would appreciate it if you would do the same with your quotation of my post.
I wasn't looking to pick on either poster.
