If you judge contact to be an attempt to punish why would you say may? Shouldn't any contact that is deemed an attempt to punish be a DQ??

Because an "attempt" to punish may not actually result in the player punishing the opponent.

It also appears to be a quote, so it's correct to use any improper grammar within the quote, although it should be followed by [sic], of course.

Considering the person involved, HIS is the correct pronoun.

It is obvious that you do not officiate in Ohio because the OhioHSAA has also written its own Two-, Three-, and Four-Person Baseball Umpiring Mechanics Manual to replace the NFHS Baseball Umpiring Mechanics and the OhioHSAA Baseball Umpiring Mechanics Manual was not written by the OhioHSAA Director of Development for Baseball Umpiring but was a joint effort by a number of LUA Interpreters. The OhioHSAA Football Officiating Mechanics Manual was written in the same manner, so please to do not make statements that have no basis in fact.

MTD,

First, Don't assume. It only makes one look silly.

Next, I know plenty about the Gold Book and how the Baseball manual came to be.

LUAs had little input on the baseball side and the impetus was the college faction stepping forward and endorsed by the DOD.
