I made an official suggestion to the NFHS for this this past off season. It made it all the way to the final agenda for the new rules committees, but didn't make it any further than that.
Delete: Rule 10 Section 3 PLAYER TECHNICAL- Art. 2 …Purposely and/or deceitfully delay returning after legally being out of bounds.
Note: Delete language from PLAYER TECHNICAL and move to Rule 9 Violations and Penalties Section 3
OUT OF BOUNDS Art.3 … A player shall not leave the court for an unauthorized reason nor shall a player purposely and/or deceitfully delay returning after legally being out of bounds.
Rationale: Change 10-3-2 from a technical foul to a violation.
Purposely and/or deceitfully delay returning after legally being out of bounds should carry the same penalty as leaving the court for an unauthorized reason
