Many years ago, when a situation as that came up I remember the officials telling the coach (who's team was behind) to engage and come out of their zone.. I also remember North Carolina using their 4 corner stall offense which later was countered by the shot clock being implemented..
What is the proper ruling on this type of play?? Does the Team that is behind have to engage and come out of their zone??
Thanks..

There used to be some sort of rule at some levels, I don't remember exactly how it went. But the shot clock has pretty much taken care of that. I've seen this type of thing a time or two. It's usually a tactic for a specific situation, and it isn't used all that often, I don't think. Fans hate it! Players don't usually like it either, especially the competitive ones who don't like what it does for their stats.
