Full Understanding ...

I like the way you think.

Considering extreme situations is a great method of fully understanding rule language.

Yeah, thanks bob, I (as usual) over thought the play.

Are there any plays where a time out after a...

Time Out The Sequel ...

What if Team A requests and is granted a timeout immediately after the out of bounds violation, before the throwin begins?

Independent Clauses ...

We've seen this NFHS rule "language" issue in the past, independent clauses (that can stand alone) with the coordinating conjunction "or" in the rule "language", making it difficult to fully...

Burned ???

Maybe "burned" was a strong word? Probably should have said "left us hanging".

I was thinking about the throwin team control issue (only for foul purposes) that took a few years to finally...

Resolved ...

Mostly agree, but we've been "burned" by the NFHS in the past in a few cases, with the NFHS taking a few years to fully clarify some changes.

Do we really believe that all pertinent questions...

Convoluted ???

Yeah, I see your point, definitely a lot of irons in the fire, seems convoluted, but it really isn't.

The NFHS certainly can't allow the new shorts rule language to "stand alone" as it now exists.

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose ...

Great question, and hard to answer without a NFHS definition of "like color".

Easier to answer if that player's black shorts didn't have any white trim?

Without a NFHS interpretation, I'm not...

How about original throwin spot, or point of interruption?
