You are not guarding if the dribbler is passed you.

Like Camron said, depends on what direction the dribbler is going.

I explained it in an earlier post. The path is TOWARD the basket. A defender that is behind a dribbler moving AWAY from the basket is still in the path to the basket.
Once the ball is in the front court the offense's objective is to score, so a defender is guarding if they are in the path between their opponent and the basket.

Chuck, what I objected to was this post by BZ, where he claims "in the path" is irrelevant compared to being between the dribbler & the basket, specifically when the dribbler is moving AWAY from the basket. I asked him for a rule or case play to back this up. He couldn't. Neither, apparently could you.
That's all.

Nice job of avoiding. I explained it, just the way I BET you'd call it in a game. Go back and read the post that has 4-23-ART 2 and 3 mentioned. If you still can't understand after that, then you are denser than a rock.
THAT'S ALL!

First of all 4-23-2&3 relates to obtaining and maintaing guarding position, not the requirements for a defender to be in a closely guarding position. Try 4-10 and get back to me.
Secondly, why don't you try and be man enough to engage in polite debate without hurling insults. I'm not your big brother or your mom and you wouldn't even know me if I was peeing on your leg so there's no need to come off with that angry teenager sh1t, OK?
