Where does the NFHS say that advantage/disadvantage is to only to be utilized for fouls, and that advantage/disadvantage is not to be utilized for violations?

Advantage/disadvantage is written into the definition of a foul.
".........illegal contact which hinders the opponent from performing normal offfensive or defensive maneuvers......"
(paraphrased from memory)
A lot of things, in practice, vary from the written rule.
A blarge must be called, because it's written, sorta.
A multiple foul should be avoided if at all possible, even though the rule and the case play are quite specific.
Violations, overall, do not consider advantage/disadvantage, and I can think of at least one example where this is specified, I think.
Wasn't there an NCAA case play about the thrower in stepping inbounds with and without pressure?
Ruling: violation in both
If a travel is to be called strictly by advantage/disadvantage, a player could simply put the ball under his arm and walk it up when there is no pressure.
