The "lack of action" rule that I laid out was long-gone by 1992....by a minimum of at least 10 years. When they went to 5 seconds, that was the start of the 5-second closely guarded rule, which got modified to what it used today. Today's closely-guarded rule IS a lack-of-action rule, with the onus put on the defense to force the action...if they want to.

Sureashell not worth arguing over.
