Since many of us follow the rule as written, we should simply change to the new rule while the non-conformers at 6 feet would likely conform at 4 feet. This is where the increase in consistency would originate as it is currently 6 feet for some and 3 to 4 feet for others.
If it stays at 6 feet, I would prefer to change the wording to "guarded" count because it is certainly not "closely guarded" at that distance -- especially for the jr. high players and below.
