I think that that was I was trying to say. Didn't do it as well.
Ben Wallace
front court
holding the ball
wants to pass
not gonna dribble

Must we now adjudge intent of path ?
Silly.

No, you just make sure that the defender assumes an LGP in front of ol' Ben before you start the count. That's assumed to be in his path. Then you keep the count going until Ben dribbles or passes. The defender has to remain in front and within 6 feet of Ben though. If the defender runs around behind Ben, even though he stays within 6 feet of him, I don't think that you can say that the defender was still guarding him. I don't think that anyone has said anything different than that. Not even Bert Kennedy.

Of course, I completely confused now anyway. I think that I'll just go get some popcorn and sit this one out for a while.
Me too.

Maybe we need to invite Blaine (just going down the list) Kennedy in to give us a lecture on this stuff?
