				sideline and defensive position
			 
 
			
			I'm helping coach a jr high team this year.  IIRC there was a change a few years back about defensive position and the sideline . . . but I'm not sure about my memory on it or how it actually called.
 When a defender chases a dribbler to the sideline, the way I was taught (more than a few years ago . . .) was to plant a foot on the line to prevent getting beat that way.  I have a vague recollection of a change that would -- at least technically -- make that not legal defensive position and preclude drawing a charge.
 
 So I have two questions:
 (1) is that in fact the technical rule? (Or am I misremembering?)
 (2) is that how it is actually called?
