Rules basis would be the rule regarding LGP, imo. Just because a player is on the floor, does not mean he is guarding. However, if he is in a normal guarding postion, I will count. It would not be fair to the D if I waited until the dribbler was, say three feet, to start my count. It would be too difficult for the defender to react as quickly as he could at 6 feet. I'm just saying I use some judgement as I see the play. How do you call closely guarded?
