This is easily my biggest pet-peeve call of all time.
As a player, in a HS semi-final state game I cherry picked. I catch the ball and the official wacked me for "deceiving" the players. Probably should've ejected me for my choice words in how I said I never left the court. He said it didn't matter. My next few words got me my only ejection in HS ball.
Forget this call.

Many years ago it was a technical foul to leave the court for an unathorized reason to avoid a 3 sec call. Eventually the FED changed it to a violation in 9.3.3 Sit A. Just a another punishment doesn't fit the crime senario. I don't know why the OP above doesn't warrant the same consideration. IMO it should be moved from 10.3.2 and added in rule 9 along with the other.
