The fact is that the NFHS does currently have a rule which covers this. The NFHS rules committee wrote the rule so that the game officials have the power to enforce sporting behavior. Judgment is a huge factor in this. Your interpretation is completely relevant. It is up to YOU to rule on this. If you do not believe that this action is "in accordance with the spirit of fair play," then you are authorized to charge an unsporting foul.

Well, it happens so rarely, and is usually so unsuccessful that it's not really as big a deal as this.
So.... I'm gonna follow my own advice and go get a life. Anything besides arguing about this. Maybe I"ll read my kids to sleep tonight.
