You can't apply 9-3-3 to this because that rule is ONLY for leaving during a LIVE ball.

No mention is made of live or dead ball.

Said the NFHS when they put that rule change in. It was in the comments section.

And yes, it has been moved to 9-3-3 in the new 2007-08 book. An old throw-in provision in the new 9-3-2.
