I don't agree with your interpretation on this Mick

I remember your reference to the post in the case book about screening teammates.

9.10.1 Sit D refers to more than one teammate keeping an opponent from guarding the person with the ball. In that case a defender within 6 feet of the player with the ball is considered closely guarding that person.

My post was referring to a simple screen and the opponent moves behind the screen to go around it. In that case, there is a brief moment when the defender could be considered guarding the screener and not the person with the ball. The way I have been trained is that will stop the count and it is restarted when the defender emerges from the screen and is back on the ball.

I can see it both ways, so this should provide some interesting discussion.
