Look, in the situation given, that of having additional, non-Fed rules, I *guess* one could say the offense is gaining an advantage by staying in the backcourt if the defense isn't allowed back there. I personally don't think that's an unreasonable interpretation, but then again, I don't know because I don't know how the additional rule is worded. As I again said, there's little to no chance this would happen in a plain Fed rule game, but if it does, its legal.
Nothing to do with legalease. 10-1-5 just doesn't apply.
Does 10-1-5 apply to a offensive team that stands just inside the division line with no defense applying pressure? If not, why would it apply to the backcourt situation described?

Aggie, you're applying apples to oranges. This is a rec league situation with a rec league rule that prevents BC pressure. The intent and purpose of the rec league rule is NOT to allow one team to run out of clock while the ball sits in the BC.
They have allowed the game to become an actionless contest. That is covered by 10-1-5. The specific act does not have to be defined anymore that every single type of unsporting behavior has to be defined in the rule book.
