If another defender switches onto the offensive player, assumes a closely-guarded situation and then the first defender leaves, the count continues.
9.10.1 SITUATION B:
While dribbling in A's frontcourt, A1 is closely guarded by B1. After two seconds, B2 also assumes a closely-guarded position on A1 and B1 leaves to guard A2.
RULING: The closely-guarded count continues. There is no requirement for the defensive player to remain the same during the count as long as A1 is closely-guarded throughout.
