Adjacent Positions

NFHS Rule 7.6 Art 4 states that on a throw-in teammates shall not occupy adjacent postions which are parallel to and within 3 feet of the boundry line if an opponent desire one of the positions. It does not say anything about a team stacking perpendicular to the boundry line thereby preventing opponents from getting between them. Are you aware of any such rule. We had this situation the other night in a high school boys varsity contest. Coach called time out because he wanted his players in between the stacked players on the team inbounding the ball underneath their own basket. While I think it does provide a definite advantage to the inbounding team I have not yet found a prohibition against it.
