Call it a myth if you would like to but the defender has to establish a guarded position before the dribbler can be called for a PC. No, time and distance are not factors to be considered when deciding whether a player established position or not. But we have to be able to discuss it in terms that it can be understood. While it may not be an absolute that a defender can't be quick enough to establish positon if a fast moving dribbler is less than a step away, there are very few HS players possessing the quickness to establish such position. To allow a player to just jump in front of a player driving to the basket without establishing position is incorrect.
We also have to be professional enough to understand our training and not say stupid things to coaches, no matter how long we've been officiating.
