Sadly, the NFHS doesn't often do what makes sense and sometimes even goes the opposite direction into absurdness.
For example, a several years ago Team A lost the right to run the endline when Team B committed any foul during the throw-in. The NFHS changed that to allow this privilege to be retained. However, just a few years ago the NFHS revoked the privilege of running the endline from Team A when Team B commits an intentional or flagrant personal foul immediately prior to or during the throw-in. This was done by adding the word "common" to rule 7-5-7b.
Several of us on here questioned the logic in taking something away from Team A because Team B offends in a more serious manner.
