That rule was taken out at least 20 years ago,Coach.
I think it was a bit less than 20 -- I know the rule was in effect in '82 . . . while a good rule, it had limits, anyway. If the offensive player dribbled past the hash marks, and the defender didn't come out, the offensive player could stand there as long as he wanted.
