The requirements for a closely guarded count are a defender within six feet of the player in control of the ball in the frontcourt. Your partner is completely wrong in his interpretation of the rule. You should of asked him for a "rules citation" so you could look it up and prove him wrong.

Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, given a chance to climb, they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions.
Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
