JK, don't have NFHS book with me, but here is a reference from the NCAA rulebook, which oddly enough is found under
Rule 10 Fouls and Penalties instead of
Rule 9 Violations and Penalties.
Quote:
Art. 16. Deceptively leaving the playing court for an unauthorized reason and returning at a more advantageous position.
A.R. 7. A player steps out of bounds to avoid contact. RULING: This shall not be called an indirect technical foul unless the player leaves the playing court to deceive or gain a more advantageous position in some way. When the player is a dribbler, the ball shall be ruled out of bounds. When the player returns to the playing floor and is the first to touch the ball, a violation has occurred since he/she left the playing court under their own volition.
