How about an old guy brain dump on closely guarded

I'm saying that the rule book says nothing about meeting the definition of LGP before a count begins. If I, as a defender, pick up a dribbler while moving and maintain 6' or less, he's closely guarded. It makes no difference whether I ever was facing him with both feet on the floor at the same time or not. I can pick him up on the run and still have a CG count started.

[/B][/QUOTE]Can't agree. See case book play 9.10.1SitC:

Team A has the ball in it's own frontcourt. B1 stands within 6 feet and facing A1 while A1 is holding the ball near the division line.
RULING: In 5 seconds this would be a violation. In the situation outlined, as soon as B1 has assumed a guarding position, both feet on the floor, facing the opponent, no other specific requirement is in effect. The amount of movement or the actual body position of the player is irrelevant.

LGP must be established by the defender before you can begin a count.
