Fun With A Closely Guarded Count …

[JRutledge]

He might have started it a little late, but I'm OK with that. For one when the player first stopped, I do not think the defender was within 6 feet at all. Then the defender crept up and got closer. Again I think he waited to start the count when he was sure. No issues from me.

Also, I do not use only the court, I use the estimate from the players involved. If the defender is around 6 feet and in my judgment can fall over and touch the feet of the opponent, then that might be a good gauge for starting the count. But again, that is based on a good estimate of the players I am observing. I am 6 feet tall so I kind of use my height to know if that applies to them.
