Disagree.
Casebook play 9.10.3(b)-- Team A, while in possession of the ball in it's frontcourt has four teammates surround dribbler A1...the opponents are unable to get to the ball.
RULING:
"This is considered to be a closely guarded situation and a violation within 5 seconds ....if any B player is within six feet of the screening teammates and is attempting to gain control of the ball. Preventing opponents from getting to the ball by using screening teammates becomes a violation in five seconds if the opponents are attempting to gain control."
