Chuck, we aren't making this up. At one time, the rulebook listed the penalty specifically for practicing during dead balls as a technical foul. There hasn't been any type of rule change that I know of. Sometimes editorial changes are made without the knowledge or consent of the NFHS Basketball Rules Committe. Just look at 2-84. The rule changed last year but the change, with editorial or otherwise was not approved by the committee.
But I think you know that Mark, Brian, Dan, Woody, Devon, DJ and me didn't all just conspire to make this up!
I'll do some research in my old rule books and see what I can find.
