I coach a couple of girls basketball teams, and in our leagues, unfortunately the full-court press may be used the entire game. (I say "unfortunately" because full-court presses aren't used the entire game in college and pro games--at least ones I've seen--so as far as I'm concerned full-game full-court pressing keeps kids from learning how to play the game "normally.")
In any case, to circumvent the full-court press, I seem to recall an official telling me that after a team makes a basket (and even after a timeout after a team makes a basket), the scored-upon team can post two, three, even four of its team members "behind the baseline" (out of bounds in other words)--as long as the team puts the ball in play within five seconds.
I've seen two players out-of-bounds after a basket is made but never more than this number. I'm pretty sure the rule is standard; can anyone help me with this rule--and in doing so, perhaps restore a little sanity to our kids' basketball games?
