I see his point but now we have players on the ground and something has to be called IMO.
How do you people handle this. High School Rules only.

It doesn't matter where they are set up if they have both feet planted (in bounds) and facing the offense player they have established legal guarding position. Also keep in mind that both feet do not have to remain in bounds for them to maintain legal guarding position.
We have to understand that legal guarding position does not necessarily mean that they are guarding someone.
They have taken there place on the court, and no matter where it is it is there place to take up. Noone can take that space away from them, if they do and have the ball in hand than it is a "player control."
