I think this is the one. For one thing, this one can easily slip by without malice by anyone. Obviously many scorers at the high school level won't know the details of the rule, so "I waited until we had more time to tell you."
Then, hopefully there are not a lot of unscrupulous ones doing the job, but I think there are plenty who would simply not tell anybody. (hee, hee, I got away with one for the team) or (they're just kids and that's a stupid rule, anyway) For one to hold the T and use it, I don't know. Most wouldn't be that devious, and besides that, they wouldn't think of it.
