I thought it was a closely guarded rule, not just a holding rule. This person insisted that to hold the ball for 5 seconds is a violation, regardless of whether the ball handler is closely guarded.
"No name" was wrong.
I agree. Also, another couple of little wrinkles - it can happen anywhere on the court, not just the front court, and to be considered closely guarded the distance is just 3 feet, not 6 feet like NCAAM and NFHS.

Aw, go ahead and give up "no name"! Is it anybody we know? It's only just us talkin'; no one else will know...
