Winding the clock on close in bounds plays isn't even a HS mechanic so technically you shouldn't ever do it. I know lots of crews that do though including mine.

It most certainly is, if you (i.e. your state, your chapter, your whatever) follows standard published NFHS mechanics.

We still do this in dii-iii level collegiate games and I've seen di officials do it as well, but not as often as the lower levels of the game.
