Gary IS an experienced FIRST volunteer, often in key roles such as Head Ref.
Also, his interpretation is the one that was given by the GDC when very similar questions were asked about this in 2006, when teams were equally interested in maximizing the opening available for floor-loading of balls.
Of course this is not 2006. For an official answer, see the Official Q&A.
