While I'd like to think that no "high school" umpire would do such a thing, it probably depends on the level of "high school" we're talking about. The umpires in a 9th grade game are (probably) lower-level umpires then the ones doing varsity games. An inexperienced umpire doing a 9th grade game might conceivably make a call like that.... I could've seen myself doing something like that in the earliest stages of my umpiring career.
