We were talking about your stated refusal to adhere to this NFHS case book play:

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

I think that we've reversed ourselves a few times on the last reference.

Ah, the days when the front court had a mid-court area and a fore-court area. Oh how I miss the good old days.
