As for your scenario, by your description, this would be a T from me. If the ball is rolling on the rim, then the player is not making a legitimate block attempt, because he can't. I'd have a T and shoot with cleared lane that will determine whether or not OT is necessary.
+1. I hope the NCAA rule trickles down to NFHS like a lot of rules do, but I don't think tinkering with the BI rule would be a rules committee priority. They've got much more pressing business, like moderating fashion trends, adjusting free throw lane violation rules seemingly every year, and talking about intentional fouls that we don't call intentional fouls.
