Does it make any difference to anyone's thoughts on this that this same exact action by the violating team is a technical if it occurs after a timeout? NFHS rule 10-5-1b. Case book 9.1.2 sit A After a timeout, if a team does this, the case book says the official gives the delayed signal and, if the final free throw is missed, instructs the violating team to fill the required spots. If they don't, issue a technical.
I know the original post is not after a time out, but...
Rule 10 - Art 5 says a team shall not..."allow the game to develop into an actionless contest, this includes the following and similar acts;"
"b. Delay the game by preventing the ball from being made promptly live or from being put in play."
I think if you're in the school that wants to issue a T in this situation, you could cite the above rule and say the actions described in the original post were "similar" and allowed the game to develop into an actionless contest.
