The ball is still live, there is absolutely no rules basis for such an interpretation. Actually, it goes completely against the rules in regards to illegal contact during a live ball.

I'll continue with my correct interpretation of calling a foul. I don't follow IAABO interps.

To steal from JRut,

IAABO created this mess. Let them live with it.

Unfortunately, I have to. Now that he's got his "interpretation" changed into an actual rule, perhaps Mr. Webb will now rethink his "intentional" interpretation, and bring it back a little.

Just remember that most of us do not, so you should quit asking us why IAABO passed such an interpretation.

And unless they put it into a case play, or I get direction from my local IAABO board to do it that way, you won't find me treating contact with a FT shooter like it's dead ball contact.

Well, at least the "cross the line" IAABO interpretation is now part of the NFHS rule book, so I feel better about calling it, and teaching it. Hopefully the IAABO "intentional, or nothing" interpretation will go away.
