A) the ball bounces and A1 catches the ball after one bounce;
B) A1 catches the ball out of the air without moving the pivot foot.
The ref continues the 5 second closely guarded count in both cases.
If the ref correct?
This happened in a girls varsity game on Saturday I worked.

It goes like this...
you could have no more then 3 counts per player posetion for closely guarded.
1. player catches ball count begins..
2. player begins dribble that count stops and new count begins with other hand.
3. Player stops dribble 2nd count stops and new count begins with other hand.
of course there must be a closely guarded situation the entire time.
... So what I'm trying to say is. NO.. the ref blew the call. It should have been a new count when the dribble ended.
