The rec leagues have these rules to help the flow of the game and to allow all players to participate. It is hard to have such a tall 12 year old playing with smaller kids his age.
I was a rec coach for many years and now a licensed official and do many of the $15 games. I really enjoy this age group.
We always had a rule about no zone defense. The rule also states that a defensive player has to be within 5 feet of their opponent they are guarding. Your other coaches are trying everything possible to guard your player. Just don't make a one man team, thus showing the other teams they have to guard everyone.
Here's what I suggest: Make sure your six footer gets many assists per game. Then the other coaches know you are just not relying on him for points only. So dump the ball into him on the low post, do a pick up top and pull a smaller kid around the other side for an easy layup. Do this three times in row and he wont be triple teamed anymore.
