Why penalize a player for making a great play by giving him a technical foul, which in high school is two shots and the ball, for using his athletic abilities.
Elasticity allows judgement for situations not covered in the rules.

When the rules say BI is a, b, or c, and you say BI is also d (in an NF game), you are adding to the rules, not interpreting them.

I agree that this should be BI, not a no-call or T. However, until the rule is changed, I'm not calling BI!
