High School: A1 is closer to the division line than the 3-point arc. B1 is guarding A1 from the side within 6'. To illustrate, if you drew a line from A1 to the basket, and another line from A1 to B1, these two lines would form an angle of approximately 90 degrees. There is essentially no one between A1 and the basket.
The question is: Do you consider this closely guarded? (Never mind asking why the guard didn't simply drive to the basket. I often cannot explain the thinking, or lack thereof in the minds of players or coaches. The issue here is whether this positioning constitutes closely guarded.) Are you counting 5 seconds?
