So now the kid has gotten called for unsportsmanlike behaviour, (that wasn't unportsmanlike on his/her part as all) which in my mind diminishes the meaning of the call and its importance in the kid and coaches mind.
Just because your FIBA rules are stoopid and need changing doesn't mean that NFHS high school rules should also be changed. Why should we institute a rule change to fix your problem? That just ain't very logical imo.
