Go with the consensus. This is an obvious atempt to circumvent the 3 second rule. CALL IT! If you don't he is allowed to camp in very deep low post position and not have to move his body position out of the lane to reset the three second count. rule 9.9.7b in the federation case book addresses this exact play. As for your backcourt question, this is different in that well..... that IS a very good question. You know when you would ask for that toy growing up from your mother and you would explain all the logical reasons why you needed it? What did she say? Because she said so. I think the same applies here. It is that way because the rule book says so. Even though they sound and seem almost identical in appearance, it is that way because the rule book says so!!!
