5 Seconds

[F C E]

When A1 is in back court there is no closely guarded count. But when A1 crosses into front court you pick up your 5 second closely guarded count as long as B2 maintains his closely guarded position. Which means that B2 may move to do this. To show the coach that you have changed your count you should switch hands. This lets the coach know that you have switched from your 10 second count to your 5 second count. This will help keep the coach off you. If A1 stops his dribble then you switch back to your other hand for the 5 second closely guarded count for holding the ball.
