Standing vs butt scoot is a colloquial name for standing vs seated guard — informal vocabulary for staying on the feet against a scooting seated player.
Etymology. “Butt scoot” is the teasing term for shuffling forward on the seat in open guard; “standing vs” frames the passer’s upright response. The label names the position by the seated game it answers, in gym slang.
Mechanics. Staying standing lets the passer destabilise the seated player before they establish grips: from the feet the passer can circle, push, and snap the scooter off balance, denying the connection the seated guard needs to attack and keeping the exchange on the passer’s terms.
Cross-reference. “Standing pass vs butterfly” and “Vertical passing context” are sibling aliases. Full mechanical coverage on Standing vs Seated Guard.
