He said he got an email from NFHS.

His description to me was something about the defensive player cannot be positioned near the "face" or edge of the bag the runner is trying to get to.....

Has anybody (Dave ASA/FED) heard about this...I can't find any reference to it online....
NFHS or HS-AZ?

If this exists,
- "near" must be defined.
- The rule is fielder not hindering any part of the base,
so is "positioned near the "face" or edge" a further restriction
or a narrowing of the rule?
