Perhaps it's the area you work in, but around here the USC problem is pretty minor. Maybe because we have always hit them and hit them hard when it does happen. And we have a very punitive ejection policy set by our CIF district so the kids have learned it's not something they want to get near. If the officials let it happen, no matter what the circumstances, then the coaches/players have no real incentive to stop it either. And the great majority of my USC calls have not come on scoring plays. So the main point of your case is moot for me, but I'd bet if the calls are made and enforced correctly when deserved, the players/coaches will get the message without adding anything extra to meet your sensibilities.
The bottom line is, I spend little time worrying about why penalties are enforced the way they are and more time making sure I do enforce them the way the NFHS, the CIF board, and my assoc wants them enforced.
