The NFHS officials site is a good place to visit to learn how and why the rules are what they are...also, on this particular topic "escape or not" there are several other film clips that show similar situations usually with the same result...no escape. But more importantly, because these are close calls, the discussion always focuses on the rule and its interpretation. Also, most fans, and most coaches, don't really understand the "delayed call" concept when it comes to these types of situations. Or the idea of "reaction time" and how that applies to escapes (it is not the same as reaction time in a locked hands situation). Unfortunately, as in this situation, an official who makes a perfectly correct, textbook, call ends up being lambasted by folks who think they know the rule but simply don't.
