So the play you describe was not a violation in the NBA.
However, it would have been a violation at the NFHS and NCAA levels.
I believe that people watching NBA games on TV and seeing this action not penalized get upset and cause a problem when it is whistled against Johnny in a HS game.

The rule should be the same at the HS level. Ours is a terrible rule that's lasted for far too long.
