Iirc, there was an interp that stated the defender's legs could only be shoulder's width apart. (Or was it a college interp?)
This might be what you're thinking of:

From the POE's in last year's NFHS rule book:
POE#3-DISPLACEMENT-(B): "A legal screener must be stationary prior to contact within his/her vertical plane(hands, arms, legs and feet no more than shoulder width apart).
