Of course, there could be two fakes here, the shot-fake, and the "fake" foul by the defender due to the abnormal kick out by the jump shooter.
That being said, I think I would view such a play in a NFHS high school game as a simple player control foul rather than a technical foul for faking being fouled.

Does that address the constant flopping and tactics used by players and specifically telling us when or how to address that issue? Simply saying faking being fouled is very subjective. Have you seen a POE or video presentation directly from the NF telling officials when to invoke this rule? Since the answer is no, they have not addressed this the same way the NCAA has. And the NCAA did nothing but show video after video after video to illustrate what they wanted. Even your organization has not to my knowledge taken any direct interpretation to call flopping a technical foul but they will tell you everything about uniforms and legality of sportsmanship, but nothing about when, how or why we call a T for what you just referenced.
