They play strictly NFHS rules with no modifications. Yet, I know over the course of the games you will ignore a traveling violation because the player with the ball has two deformed arms with only 2 fingers on each hand and is barely able to hold the ball let alone bounce it. My friend, I call that enforcing your own psuedo-sportmanship rule.

And I think you would add, as would I, appropriately enforcing your own psuedo-sportsmanship.

I do think Mark likely mispoke when he said "ethically required to ignore his/her client's desires." I would assume that Mark would flatly say "I can't do that; hire some one else. This is a safety issue. If I do what you want, I'm violating safety rules and creating a hazard." Which is the opposite of this situation of taking a situation that is likely dangerous for the defender and rectifying it with a new rule. Not that I agree a new rule is the best solution. I would have done my best to rectify the situation myself within the latitude of the rules - basketball should not be a game of fear tactics.

And if I couldn't solve it, perhaps a new rule would do it for me.
