Question Delay of game - end of 4th qtr

Less than 30 seconds in the 4th quarter. Team B leads by 5 points. After a made basket, Team A intentionally delays the game by knocking the ball away. An official administers the first delay of game warning against Team A. It was obvious that the delay was committed by Team A because they were out of timeouts and this action would cause the clock to stop.


I have to give credit to the Team A coach for using the current rules to his advantage. However, do you think that the NFHS should change the rule for actions described above and make this particular delay under 1 minute a technical foul? In essence, Team A was able to get an "extra" timeout since the clock stopped.
