If you go strictly by the wording of the HS rule, you would have to penalize the team when the name is added even if it was on the roster they submitted.

Completely wrong!
You've made several declarative, yet incorrect, statements about NFHS rules since you began posting on this forum. I politely asked you how many HS games you still work as opposed to NCAA and you stated that you do very few HS contests at this time. I'm sure that you are a quality official and you perspective is welcome on the forum, but would you please stop making such definite posts about the HS rules without consulting the books first?

I made this statement because I had a situation in a HS game this year where the scorekeeper did not transcribe the names from the roster to the score book correctly. When they informed us during the game, I consulted the roster, saw the name on the list, and did not assess an administrative technical foul. Needless to say, the other coach was not happy and he complained to the assignment chair, who happens to be the head rules interpreter for our state and also assigns two college leagues I work in. He told me I was wrong for applying a college rule to a HS game. I took him at his word, and did not check the actual wording of the NFHS book saying list rather than score book. My fault.


I only make two types of statements on the forum, definitive and smart-assed. I don't anticipate this changing any time in the near future, but I will think about consulting the NFHS book first.

See, you are an excellent official. You nailed that situation. In fact, we have posted exactly that scenario on this forum a few times in the past and stated to do just what you did in consulting the roster submitted to the scorer. Now if we could only get your assignor to open the NFHS rules book!
It's rather embarrassing when the state rule interpreter is wrong.

That is bound to happen when those positions are filled on factors not relating to rules knowledge....as is apparently the case in some states.

Let me get this part straight. HB said that you should have given a administrative T, even if the mistake was clerical and not submitting the incorrect information? I had a similar situation in the playoffs and we figured out the mistake was on the scorekeeper. We also did not assess a T when the sk realized he made a mistake. And it was the sk that brought the situation to our attention.

Peace

Yes, HB said we should have given them an administrative technical, and yes it was a mistake by the scorekeeper. The coach in question is the biggest ******* in his conference, school located in Blue Island. Perhaps, HB was just flustered from having to argue with that jackass for an hour before he called me, but that is definitely what was said.
