Four corners feeder style

No rule reference here as there is none.

Most travel/feeder programs have a man to man rule.

A coach I've known for a number of years poised this question to me last night. Their opponent spread the floor ala Dean Smith four corners, with their speedy point guard driving one on one every play. Coach said his kids were playing their man but off them 8-10 feet since they were literally in the far corners. Opposing coach kept yelling "zone". Officials eventually made defense play off them 6 feet.

I'm in a quandry as to what I would have done. I'd probaby side with defensive coach as that's not what the rule is intended to accomplish.

As always here, you'd probably have to see it to make a judgement.
