I am a basketball coach in a little league organization that plays under the National Federation of State High School Assoc rules. I am trying to find out if double and triple teaming a player in the low post when he doesnt have the basketball is considered an illegal defense.

I have a very large player on my 12 year old team, (6 feet 175 lbs) and the refs basically let the other kids beat the heck out of him without calling any fouls. The newest stategy that other couches in the league are using is when when we are taking the ball out under our basket, they surround him with 3 players leaving the weaker players open from outside. I am just curious if this is a technical foul due to illegal defense.

Thank you.
