It's fine. A couple of them have been posted here before as well as on Rivals.com and a few other sites.

Please keep in mind they were written for fans, so I tried to simplify it as much as possible.

Disagree. Your work is also appropriate for players, coaches, and a few officials.

Now, "my" list, that's simple stuff, it's long, and because it's so long, it has to be simple.

Thanks for letting me off the hook. I really wasn't looking forward to dealing with copyright attorneys.

I think Tony's point is that officials often dissect wording to not fit 100% wording of the rule and that the information was not intended to be accurate to that wording. And people here often spend a lot of time worrying about a specific word or phrase, instead of the content or the purpose of the information.

Peace

And some people worry about both, and, by contacting the NFHS, through their interpreters, in rule suggestions, try to get the specific word, or phrase, to match the content, or the purpose, of the information. Maybe, in a hundred years, we'll get everything straightened out, or maybe not.
