To show that someone is closely guarded. After 5 seconds, it will be a violation.

HS and NCAAM: Within 6; holding or dribbling (must be 5 consectutive seconds of one of these -- the count starts over if a player goes from one to the other); front court only.

NCAAW: Within 3', holding only; anywhere on the court.
