Stop the tape! as Russ Limbaugh would say.
That's NFHS rules but yet if I do what they recommend, you're telling me I'm wrong.

Stop the tape again, Goober. If you owned a case book, you also might have read the following and not embarrassed yourself again:
Case Book Play 2.8.1:--
"The rule book states that officials may call fouls on either team if its supporters act in in such a way as to interfere with the proper conduct of the game. It is significant to note that the word used is "may". This gives permission, but does not in any way imply that officials must call technical fouls on team followers or supporters for unsporting acts. Thus, while officials do have the authority to penalize a team whose spectators interfere with the proper conduct of the game, this authority must be used with extreme caution and discretion. While the authority is there, the official must rarely use it, because experience has demonstrated that calling hasty technical fouls on the crowd rarely solves the problem...." Note "extreme caution and discretion" and
"rarely use", OS. Sentences in the
"COMMENT" part of that case play also iterates that calling a technical foul on the crowd is a last resort only.
The NFHS sureashell
isn't recommending that "T"s should be called. They're recommending the complete opposite. If you owned a case book, you woulda already known that. If you belonged to an association that officiates high school games, you woulda know it also. That's what they teach their officials. It's only the "Rec-League Ronnies" like you that run around calling what they
think is right, without
knowing what is right.
Iow, as usual you are wrong.
