And the reality is that high school officials often do not award any shots if the shooter is not off the floor to elevated to shoot at the time of contact.

As a watcher of game , I think this is ultimately the issue: in my experience, HS referees (especially sub-varsity) are far less likely to judge that the shooting motion had started than NBA referees (or NCAA) - and are far less consistent on where the lines are.
