I have been told by several varisty officials in my chapter that wether you call this depends on the level of play. That stumped my for a moment, but they explained that at the lower levels it was more important for the players to learn what was and was not "legal". Therefore, if you are calling JH or Frosh ball you would whistle this foul.
However, if you have any desire to move up to varsity from JV (which you are "rewarded" with based on test scores, mechanics, etc.) you need to hold the whistle for a second or two and see if the play was impacted. They compared it to the 3 sec. violation. If a player wants to take himself out of his teams play, let him. If the ball is passed to him while he is in the lane, then you blow your whistle.
Therefore, in this case I would hold have nothing if it was JV or varsity and a foul if it was a lower skill level.
