I believe you are correct. But not only were we told that a defender had to have both feet on the court (inside the lines) in order to take a legal guarding position and make a case for drawing a charge, a player setting up to guard someone bringing the ball up one sideline couldn't line up with one foot out of bounds as well. That's why I said "Good luck calling that the first time."

Perhaps you are confused...
Both feet on the court (both inbounds) is required to ESTABLISH a legal guarding position. Both feet on the floor is not required to maintain that position - the defender may move laterally and is not required to have any feet on the floor after that initial legal guarding position was established. If, as a defender, you put a foot Out Of Bounds the new rule say that you are now OOB and no longer legally guarding (you are using the OOB area). The new rule says that if there is now contact with the dribbler, a block call should be made.

Four men is ludicrous. Obviously the guy with one foot OOB or in the air is still playing. You're trying to make up an out of this world answer - similar to what I did for a couple of the NFHS Part II test questions this year.
