I think a better question is why doesn't the NFHS just go ahead and add a tripping signal? That and a hit to the head signal. 
Both signals are clear, concise, more descriptive of what happened on the play plus they give information that is helpful to both fans and the coach.

Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, given a chance to climb, they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions.
Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
