I'm not sure what I would have called in that sitch. Hard to say. It sure is a harsh penalty that the NFHS wants us to enforce. It's kind of like the technical foul that they wanted called for a thrown elbow that didn't hit anyone. Very few refs called it so they eventually changed it to a violation.
I wouldn't be surprised to see them change the "running out of bounds" play to a violation at some point because I don't know many refs who would have called the T in your situation either.
