If the player is driving either (1) toward the basket or (2) toward the baseline and has "beaten" his defender (ie, they are shoulder-to-shoulder), does the count end?
Thanks in advance!!

Joe,
I've got the count going when the defender is
approximately on a line between the ball handler and his/her goal .
NF and NCAA men are the same. NCAA women is holding only in frontcourt or backcourt.
1.>If the dribbler is going to the basket and the defender is on that line, my count continues.
2.> If the dribbler has beaten the defender, then the defender is not on that line, and my count ends. If they are shoulder-to-shoulder, then I look at the defender with respect to the "line" .
