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.

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.
