Closely Guarded Post Player

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.
