If "Rubber Banding" is the same as "bumping" it was allowed by our Catholic middle school assignment commissioner, who had to deal with games scheduled an hour apart on game nights.
We were also allowed to bounce the ball across the lane, just break through the crowd to report fouls (not necessarily to move all the way to the reporting area), and to only switch when convenient (always on shooting fouls).
But that was "only" middle schools, and only Catholic middle schools in one very specific local Deanery, not high school varsity games.
Our high school assignment commissioner (who assigns high school varsity, junior varsity, freshman, and public middle schools) and our local interpreter would tell us all the time, "No bumping timeouts".
