Need some rules clarifaction please.

Our girls team (very small school) only has 6 players, but they are all excellent and will likely run away with our zone.

To save his girls the coach is planning to run a 5 wide play a few times a half. Almost all teams play 2-1-2 zone here. So he plans to spread his girls out 5 wide outside the 3 pt line and have them pass the ball around.

If they come out to challenge m2m, they will get killed, so I expect the other team will sit in the zone and wait.


Question: how will the 5 sec call effect this?

Unchallenged, how long can they hold/dribble the ball. Do they have to be inside the hash marks just past mid-court?

Help please.
