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.

They can hold the ball anywhere in the front court forever now if you don't send a defender out to within 6 feet of the player with the ball. Forget about the hashmarks. They're meaningless now when it comes to the closely-guarded rule.
