This would be legal if we didn't have the "dribbler rule" in place -- and could give the offense an advantage not intended by rule. SO, the NFHS added the rule / commetn (whateverit is).

Call it with that intent.
Player is dribbling up my sideline. I'm trail.
If I see the ball touch oob or the dribbler's foot touch oob it is a violation.
The rule is straightforward here.
