Reviewing exact wording the book says simply continuously guarded by any opponent who is within 6 feet of the player who is holding or dribbling the ball.
Step further question. The count ends when the offense "beats" the defender by "getting their head and shoulders past the defender".
Say your burning some clock. Guards are moving parallel with division line but close to a team really wanting the ball.
Is "head and shoulders" realitive to
1) the basket?
2) the direction of the player?
