For those who don't remember, this one was repealed in the early 90's. I do not recall specifics, but in general this ruled said (loosely) that if a team was down by 10 points or more, then that team must make a play to the basket within 10 seconds if closely guarded. If a team was winning by 10 points or more, then they must closely defend an opponent with the ball.

Was that a local rule?The old FED rule said that the team behind,or the defense(if the score was tied)was responsible for the action.They spelled out what action had to be taken,too.The penalty was a T for non-compliance,and "closely guarded" wasn't a part of the rule.This old rule actually evolved into the "closely guarded" rule that we use now.
