Closely Guarded

The FIBA Closely Guarded rule is three feet not six feet, only while holding the ball, and in both the Backcourt and the Front Court. I would adopt the three feet while only holding the ball in the Front Court.

P.S. I should clarify, that I am advocating this adoption for NFHS and NCAA Men's because NCAA Women's has always used the FIBA rule (but I would adopt Front Court only for NCAA Women's too).
