I did some research in the rulebook. Here is what I found. The definition of closely guarding (NFHS 4-10) says, "A closely guarded situation occurs when a player in control of the ball in her/her team's frontcourt, is continuously guarded by any opponent who is within 6 feet of the player who is holding or dribbling the ball."
Then I went to the definition of guarding (NFHS 4-23-1). "Guarding is the act of legally placing the body in the path of an offensive opponent."
I think standing in front of another player would be placing yourself in their path. I would have a 5-second count.
