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.

In Federation rules, the closely guarded rule needs to have a defender within 6 feet. If B is playing a zone and under the 3-point line, Team A players can be at leat 6 feet outside the 3-point line, pass the ball around, and not have to worry about any closely guarded violations.
IOW, unchallenged, they can hold the ball until the buzzer goes to end the period.
