Running out of bounds to fool opponents

Have you ever penalized such action with a technical foul?

There is no reason why the penalty should be 2-shots AND possession AND a personal foul when in the NCAA is merely 1 shot and POI.

In a college games, yes. In a HS game, no.

But that doesn't change the fact that HS players frequently throw themselves to the ground after 3-pointers and bob their heads like they've been shot in the forehead all for the purposes of fooling the officials into thinking they've been fouled.
