SteveM is right on this phenomenon. In the Maryland NFHS Clinic, the clinician made a point (and NFHS even developed a tranparency for it) that in Federation ball, the umpire WILL rule interference.
And even before Steve and his crew had these discussions, it was being discussed in the college cafeteria among us that such a ruling is ludicrous at best. The Fed interpretation seems to be a "coach's rule" brought to the table by someone who thought they found a shortcut to an easy out. I prefer the ASA interpretation and will call it that way for ASA, but if Fed says to call it the other way, that's what I'll. They are paying the freight, so their rules apply regardless of my feelings. But I'm not going to have to worry about it since my HS season has been eliminated by knee surgery. Mike
