The best answer I have is the national federation has it as a rule, Ohio didn't modify it, so we call 10 seconds.
My guess is because we don't use a shot clock like the NCAA (and apparently some states) we will continue to call 10 seconds until the NF changes the rule. I have had a gut feeling for awhile that the NF will go to a shot clock in the next few years if they can get schools to buy into the cost of new or extra equipment.
