Like I said before when I was playing in high school the official would always hold the ball for a few seconds even if the passer was standing there. Is there anyone that would agree with me on this.

Because no one feels this is an issue. And I do not see a reason for such a rule. Get out of the huddle on time and you will not have to worry about someone being courtesy. Control what you can control.
