Faking Being Fouled ...

IAABO, in a recent Make The Call Video Summary, issued the following interesting statement:

It should also be noted, that if indeed illegal contact occurred by the defender on this play, the only infraction that can be ruled would be the foul by the defender. So in this case, if the shooter "embellishes" the illegal contact after the fact, even though he may be faking, the NFHS is only requiring the officials to make one ruling on the play.

Nice to see in writing that no matter how much the player (in this case a shooter) "embellishes" or “fakes”, if the “embellishing” or “faking” was subsequent to actual illegal contact, nor matter how slight, officials are to only charge the illegal contact foul and are to ignore the “faking”.

I wonder if the NFHS will make such a similar clarifying statement?
