That certainly is one way of viewing at it. It can also be viewed it as the NFHS adopting language that was in the bitterly criticized "unusual interpretation", and their remedy for such bitterly criticized language.

In regard to the game of basketball, "deflection" is an oft used word. The NCAA uses it in their backcourt rule, but the NFHS has also used it in a bitterly criticized interpretation. Some may view that it is the latter language that lead to the recent NFHS rule change. And others may differ with that view.
