I think I'm seeing hte light now.

That makes sense. Rule 10-6 of the NFHS rules says, in part, "If a dribbler inn his/her progress is moving in a staright line path, he/she may not be crowded out of that path, but if an opponent is able to legally obtain a defensive position in that path, the dribbler msut avoid contact by changing direction or ending his/her dribble."

So what your syaing is figure out the reason the defender is there. Is he defending the ball or is he there for other reasons. I know what your saying, it's just that the part of the guarding section that says that everyone is entitled to a spot on the floor confused me.

I've been doing this for about 10 years and am confident in my game. I just think of these what ifs from time to time and like other opinions.
