Continue the count?

Do we continue the count if the dribbler goes around a screening teammate, so that the screener is between the dribbler and the defender, even if the defender stays within six feet?

IAABO refresher exam question a few years ago said we stop the count. I still can't find any citations to support this? Can any of you?

Check out case book play 9.10.1SitD. In the ruling, they use the statement "Preventing opponents to get to the ball by using screening teammates becomes a violation in five seconds if the opponents are attempting to gain control." That's good enough for me. I wouldn't stop a 5-second count as long as the defending player stays within six feet of the ball.

Yes, the count goes on.

Per NFHS (as Jurassic stated), 9.9.1.D says the count continues.

Interestingly, per NCAA, the count ceases, as a closely guarded situation does not exist anymore. (NCAA 4-13-4)
