1. Player catches the ball and is holding it while closely guarded. Official starts a five second count.
2. Player starts dribbling. Official starts another 5 second count.
3. Player stops dribbling and holds the ball. Official starts another 5 second count.
As long as the official never reaches 5, it's all legal; and there were three separate 5 second counts.
