Note that the NCAA rule is different.

+1. This drives NFHS coaches bananas because they always think there should be something to call, but in reality, given the OP description, there is no call to make.

NCAA passed a rule change about 4 years ago making what was described defensive basket interference. This rule change has not trickled down to high school yet. Personally, I don't think it ever will, though who knows...
