Hmmmm interesting.

Our crew had this three weeks ago and I talked them out of OPI (I had no doubts).

So when I saw this thread I pulled up the book on Arbiter and saw this ruling and was a little surprised and sent an e-mail to my crew saying I owed them a root beer. Sending a new e-mail this morning... glad I don't owe. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

We seem to be averaging about one post per week where an official didn't get the word about the resurrected, erroneous case play. NFHS, or more than likely state supervisors, did a poor job of spreading the word. I don't know too many guys that go to the NF site since they killed the old officiating forum there.

It's like the newspaper posting a correction on p. 31.

Had one of my guys call me this week about the very same thing. I addressed this a couple of months ago in one of our weekly meetings & even passed out copies of the NFHS clarification.
