The only thing the NFHS case is really saying is that if there is such a player on the court, the opponent ought to be smart enough to got get tripped by them. It would usually be very easy to avoid them.
Almost every situation I've had a player trip over a prone player is following a rebound and often the prone player is behind the ball-handler, so I wouldn't say it's easy to avoid them.
