Yeah, me too, actually. The first post says that he thinks closely guarded does not require a guarding stance. Then later he says he was using the 3-foot, guarding stance guideline. I'm not really sure what the actual call was either, now.

THe three feet is a CIS modification, they only require 3-feet distance for closely guarded, and the player can only be holding the ball for a count to start. No closely guarded count while dribbling.

Okay, A1 is standing still with the ball. B1 is standing idly within 3 feet of A1. After 5 seconds of this, you blow your whistle. A1 complains?
3 feet is, frankly, close enough that it would be hard to have someone that close without "actively guarding" (whatever that means).
