It is because of that kind of thinking that rough play persists in HS basketball and that NFHS must issue POEs so frequently on displacement and other forms of it.

Why would you caution against making a completely correct call that the people who govern HS basketball desire? Could it be because you don't want to risk upsetting the coaches? Do you fear getting blacklisted by schools? Do you like the rough tactics that are now common in basketball?
