5 Second Violation??

[IREFU2]

If she is closely guarded while she is holding the ball, she 5 second to get rid of the ball. If she is not closely guarded, she can stand there all day. This is a very simple rule in my opinion.

He's learning.

Correct.

The rule is not intended for anything close to holding the ball out by the division line while the defense plays a zone defense inside the three-point arc.

Happens a couple of times a year when, for whatever reason, both teams are "happy" with the current score + / - one last shot by the offense at the end of a period.

Agreed, if the clock is running, it's not an "actionless contest" in my book.

That is correct.

Oh I see.

We're morons for using the word baseline but we should go easy on this guy.

Riiiiiight.

Correct, back in the early eighties.

[BillyMac]

The closely guarded rule is in effect in frontcourt only, when a defender is within six feet of the ball handler. Up to three separate five-second counts may occur on the same ball handler, holding, dribbling, and holding. The count continues even if defenders switch. The five-second count ends when a dribbler gets his or her head and shoulders ahead of the defender.

I had a playoff game where one team, who knew they'd get killed if they played 32 minutes of basketball, actually held the ball for 7 minutes of a quarter. No passes, just held the ball after the half court throw in. Perfectly legal.

Longest I have ever seen the ball held is 7:45. Box score that quarter was 2-0.

I've now got you beat - local holiday HS boy's tournament. One team felt the were going to be out-matched, so they got the opening tip and held the ball. Literally. Until they accidentally threw it away with only a minute or so left in the quarter. Still managed to hold the other team scoreless: score at halftime was 0-0. Final was 17-6. Yes, HS boy's varsity game.

How long was the game? 45 min-1 hour?

Ok, who is causing this to be an actionless contest - the O holding the ball or the D not playing any D? Hmmmmmmmmmmm
