>If a team leads by 20 or more in the second half, they cannot guard in the backcourt. This is not unusual at all for rec tournaments.
That happens in our game too, but sometimes they also tell you "no breakaways!" if you're up by a bunch.
I have my coach's son on my team, and he often does about the same thing, except he fouls like that. His dad always tells him, don't try to steal the ball, you'll just foul him. Guess what, he goes for a steal every time, and yes, pick up a personal!
