It already is a HS rule: Rule 4.23.2(a) states that in order to obtain legal guarding position a guard must have both feet touching the playing court. I don't know what the NCAA rule is, nor did I see the play, but this is an editorial change that was adopted this year in NFHS.

Hopefully this post doesn't qualify as a defense of Billy Packer
Everyone on this board knows it is a new HS rule. You just misunderstood my meaning, which was that with people like Packer out there still preaching for the defender to put a foot on the line, it will be next to impossible for us to get the fans, coaches, etc., to accept our calling it the new/correct way.
