Is there a 5-second closely guarded rule in the NBA?

Was there ever a 5 second count of any kind in the NBA?

I am not 100% sure as how it is implemented, but there is a 5 second rule in the NBA. I believe it only applies to the post. The Lead has the call because they do a "closely guarded" type of count.

Peace

Is this the rule about the dribbler with his back to the basket?

I think so, but I am not sure. I just had someone tell me this rule and I have since noticed the Lead official counting when I watch an NBA game (which is rare).

Peace

Rule 10. Section XV—Five-Second Back-to-the-Basket Violation

An offensive player in his frontcourt below the free throw line extended shall not be permitted to dribble with his back or side to the basket for more than five seconds. The count ends when (1) the player picks up the ball, (2) dribbles above the free throw line extended or (3) a defensive player deflects the ball away.

PENALTY: Loss of ball. The ball is awarded to the opposing team out-of-bounds on the nearest sideline at the free throw line extended.
