Are Time And Distance Relevant ???

I don't recall any major changes in the guarding rule (4-23) in the last ten years, so how does one explain the deletion of the casebook play (10.6.1E NFHS 2004-05)?
Would it make any difference if the tripped offensive player, or the offensive player who trips (depending on one's interpretation), did not have the ball?
