Closely Guarded

[johnny1784]

The CBOA (California Basketball Officials Association) has a revision for NFHS Rule 9-10, closely guarded.

Girl’s basketball in the state of California has a closely guarded 5 second violation applied anywhere on the court for hold-the-ball without dibbling or control-the-ball enclosed by screening teammates.

My understanding, the NFHS Rule 9-10 applies to both girls and boys basketball.

Are there any other state basketball associations with revisions to the NFHS closely guarded Rule 9-10?

We have adaptations for girls in Iowa, but none to do with a closely guarded count. Am I reading the revision correctly in that you can call a five second count in the backcourt?

The same is true in MA.

I believe you are. That's the NCAAW rule, if I'm not mistaken. Although in NCAAW, closely guarded is 3-feet, isn't it?

In Washington State HS basketball, there can be a 5-second closely guarded count ANYWHERE on the court for girls basketball. There is NO closely guarded count for a dribbling player in girls basketball. We have a 30-second shot clock in girls basketball.

Right on both counts, Chuck.

Many (msot?) states that adopt a shot-clock for girls basketball ALSO adopt the NCAAW closely-guarded rules.

Yes, that's right. NCAAW has a 5-sec. held ball closely-guarded count, anywhere on the court. (There is no 10 second count, by the way, in case you're trying to picture a different count with each hand in the backcourt...) They also changed the closely-guarded distance from 6 feet to 3 feet for the '03-'04 season.

What if they're dibbling? BTW - what's dibbling anyway?

In case there is any confusion, let me make it clear that CA uses a shot clock for both boys and girls basketball. Therefore, they have some rules modifications which go along with that.

And yes, they are always stunned when they cross the state line and play over here that there is no shot clock. They think that everyone uses the shot clock just because they use it and all the game they see on TV use it. Hmmm, does someone think that they are the center of the universe?

On a related topic, rumor is that Iowa girls are finally dumping the coin toss and throwing the jump ball like the rest of the world. It's the little things in life I get excited about. I hated the coin toss.
