The "powers that be" probably finally realized it wasn't worth the hassles, so they eliminated the rule. That was somewhere around 15-17 years ago, I'd guess.
It was 1991 or 1992, I'm pretty sure. I was calling intramural ball using NF rules, and they supplied us with rulebooks. I know the LOSA rule was in my first book (90-91), so it must have been in one of the subsequent books.
Also, as I recall, they took out the LOSA rule about the time they decided they didn't want shot clocks in the HS game. The logic, as it was explained in the rulebook commentary, was that it was up to the coach to determine his team's tempo, not the rulebooks.
