Closely Guarded Post Player

[Judtech]

Maybe it is just me, and I wouldn't be suprised if it was, but has anyone called a 5 second violation on a player on the low block? I can see a high post 5 second call but a low post one? If a player holds for 4 seconds, dribbles for 4 seconds and then holds for 4 that is a lot of time in the post. Not thinking of anytime I would have called this, but again, it might be just me.
As per the OP, the T could have this call in NCAA W. Although, Id fill it under ," I'll call it, you explain it"! LOL

The primary has the count in NCAAW, unless that's changed recently.

The place where it's important, IMO, is when the post player gets trapped right about the time the official would've been at 3 or so. Too late to start a fresh count then, but a 5-second call is just as valid there as anywhere else on the court.

It changed a few years ago. If ball goes below FT line extended (roughly) L picks it up and T takes the post action. So if a pass went from the baseline 3 to the low post the L would have the matchup at the 3 pt. area and T would have post action.
Not saying it can't happen, just having a difficult time imagining it happening or someone callling it. Although a trap after the post player killed their dribble would be the most obvious choice.
