How about an old guy brain dump on closely guarded

Sorry but it's not in the rules, BZ. If it is, please cite the reference. It doesn't say LGP must be obtained first. And it doesn't say the count continues when the defender is screened and is no longer guarding the player with the ball.

I'm done. I'm simply not interested in these long drawn out arguments anymore.

I'm saying exactly what was said IN THE 2004-2005 RULE BOOK.

I've been saying over two forums that the rule is vague, and you have been busting my cherries about it, and now you are saying that the POE FROM THE FREAKING RULE BOOK is not in the rules.

Okay.
