hidden ball trick plays

Just wondering how you all feel about plays like this and if they are still legal under NFHS rules. I've heard rumor that some leagues are doing away with hidden ball trick plays, but i really like this one with a runner on 2B and the fake pickoff overthrow. Personally, I dont see any reason to not run plays like this. If everyone plays heads up ball and is doing things right, these things dont happen. If you notice heads up playing is a weakness on the other team, exploit it. Its like the running through first and turning towards 2B instead of turning foul, you should be able to tag the kid on his way back to the bag, but people barely ever do and some umps as a "courtesy" wont call it and think you are trying to play "cheap."

Discuss.
