I would argue that this is one place where you hold the whistle. That's not what the NFHS wants, likely.

Perhaps...but if called early on and consistently, they'll get out of the habit and you will more easily recognize the strategic infractions when they occur and can more easily go to the next level of foul.

BTW, since you prefer correct grammar and spelling "everytime" is not a word. It is "every time" (two words). :)

I would say if you're going to call a play like that an IF - or F1 in a college game - Stevie Wonder better be able to see the defender's intent from the last row. As was said, the individual will only be able to do it five times plus the team will be giving up FTs fairly early. The cost-benefit probably isn't worth it.

Are YOU going to call it this way during the season?

And besides, don't a lot of fouls "Negate an opponent's obvious advantageous position?"

I think this is a riverdance on a slippery slope...
