Additional NFHS rule language is needed for the NFHS rule to duplicate the NCAA rule.
NCAA: 9-12-5 A pass or any other loose ball in the front court that is deflected by a defensive player, which causes the ball to go into the backcourt may be recovered by either team even if the offense was the last to touch the ball before it went into the backcourt.
NFHS 9-9-1: EXCEPTION: Any player located in the backcourt may recover a ball deflected from the frontcourt by the defense.

For the record, the NCAA loves to use the word "exception" for all kinds of rules and situations. They do this in football as well by having a rule and creating and exception to that rule. It is the way they write their rules. The NF does not typically do this. And like Raymond said, nothing we are going to do about that. So why do you keep repeating the same questions over and over again?
