Thanks. I opted not to buy new NFHS rulebooks this year, so I wasn't sure if this rule was worded in a way that leaving the court was an automatic violation, or if there had to be (in the official's judgment) some sort of advantage/disadvantage to it. [Note to self: Buy updated NFHS materials for 07-08 ]

I also seem to recall in NCAA rules, they had a case where a player goes out of bounds to avoid contact and it was considered a no call unless there an official judged it to be deceiving or an advantage gained by the player going OOB.
