another misconception

Last week I was watching a boys varsity game. Team A led by about 5 or 6 with time running down. They had spread the court and the point guard put on a nice ballhandling display trying to run out the clock, but, unfortunately, he had a defender shadowing his every move. tweet- 5 seconds
A very knowledgeable fan quickly spoke up: "No, ref, that's
5 seconds in one place!! He was all over the court!"

A word about distance. I would rather see a no call at
5 1/2 feet than a 5 second call at 6 1/2 feet.
