And if you're making him be closer than 6', then you're wrong.

Are you saying that the defender doesn't have to establish an initial LGP before meeting the "closely guarded" definitions? Or am I misunderstanding you again?

I'm saying that the rule book says nothing about meeting the definition of LGP before a count begins. If I, as a defender, pick up a dribbler while moving and maintain 6' or less, he's closely guarded. It makes no difference whether I ever was facing him with both feet on the floor at the same time or not. I can pick him up on the run and still have a CG count started.
That's what I'm saying.
I haven't reviewed what the POE said last year but I do remember there being a lot of discussion about. I'm simply baseing what I've said on what's in the rule book and case book.
