Pet peeve of mine is the player who, seconds after the end of period horn sounds, launches a long distance three pointer that invariably clangs off the rim and deflects to a far corner of the gym. No way am I going to retrieve that ball. NFHS 2-17-4 lacks teeth in the form of a penalty (unless it's a dunk) but the delay rule certainly does apply here.

NFHS 10-4-5-B: A player must not: Delay the game by acts such as: Failing when in possession, to immediately pass the ball to the nearer official when a whistle sounds.
