Guess Smitty likes to set aside rules he doesn't like. Penalty used to be a T.

I know what the penalty used to be, genius. That's why I said "since it became a violation". You didn't answer my question.

Saw it and called it in a college game last Friday. (The NCAA rule is slighlty different -- the player who ran OOB must be the first (next) to receive a pass to be a violation.)

That is quite a different rule. The high school rule requires the player gains an advantage from being out of bounds for it to be a violation. I see kids out of bounds all the time, but not to gain any advantage. Calling this more than 5 times a season seems excessive.

It does? I know that's how it is officiated but all 9-3-3 says is that a player may not leave the court for an unauthorized reason.

You mean unauthorized reason. To me that means to gain an advantage. If you want to call it because the kid has his feet out of bounds, knock yourself out.

Oops, yes I do mean unauthorized.

First time I've seen this interpretation of the rule. I generally take it to mean "on purpose." If they wanted advantage written into the rule, they would have stated it that way, IMO.

Either way, I just don't see it often.
