Update Closely Guarded/ Screen

[Jurassic Referee]

Just for reference...fwiw...

The 2004-05 rule book has a POE on the closely-guarded count. The POE lists the situations that warrant the ending of a closely guarded count. They are:
-when no defensive player is within six feet.
-when a closely guarded player completes a dribble anywhere in his team's frontcourt.
-when a closely guarded player starts a dribble in his own frontcourt and ends it anywhere in the frontcourt(a new five second count will start if the player hold the ball).
- loses possession of the ball for any reason in the team's own frontcourt.
- has his/her dribble interrupted.
- if a closely guarded player beats the defender(s) by getting head and shoulders past the defensive player, the count has ended.

That's it for ending a five-second count. Note that a screener coming between the defender and the player with the ball is not mentioned.

BillyMac,
Thanks for checking and confirming what most of us on here said. The NFHS ruling is indeed different from the NCAA one.

Hawkeye,
I'm not the least bit surprised to hear that. Rather than adhere to the NFHS rulings, CA chooses to do many things it's own way. The use of the shot clock is the most salient. This is the very reason why CA does not have the ability to submit rule changes and gets no representation on the national rules committee.
