That's a terrible interpretation. I'd love to hear their justification because is simply incorrect based on the wording of the new rule and the established definitions in Rule 2. I don't see anything under the football case situations regarding a horse collar only applying to the ball carrier in the IHSA officials center and until I do I'm going with the published NFHS rules.
