[QUOTE=ODog;996006]Again, not speaking to your example in particular, since these are HTBT situations, but the "attitudes" of the players (casual, leisurely, etc.) are never relevant when it comes to violations. Hell, if LGP was established and the defender remained within 6 feet, both players could turn their backs to each other in indifference and 5 seconds could still be called.
Are we sure about this? It is called "closely guarded" and not "closely located." I seem to recall a Case Book play that addresses this, unfortunately, I'm at a New Years Party, and don't have my books.
