If it can be avoided? Sure.

But until then, it is what it is.

Until we get further clarification from the NFHS, this situation is like any one of the dozens of situations that we all encounter in a typical game where we have to make subjective judgments, especially in regard to fouls.

I coached for twenty-five years and I always taught my players, when on the floor, do not get up. Pass, shoot, or start a dribble (I called timeouts, not players), but don't try to get up. I'm pretty sure that most other coaches coach the same.
