Closely Guarded
The FIBA Closely Guarded rule is three feet not six feet, only while holding the ball, and in both the Backcourt and the Front Court. I would adopt the three feet while only holding the ball in the Front Court.

P.S. I should clarify, that I am advocating this adoption for NFHS and NCAA Men's because NCAA Women's has always used the FIBA rule (but I would adopt Front Court only for NCAA Women's too).

Actually, it's 1 metre. FIBA uses the Metric Measurement System.

Plus, 1 metre is 3.28084 feet.

Is a "metre" the same as a "meter"?

Nothing. What's a meter with you?

I'll give the benefit of the doubt at 3.2 feet, but at 3.1, I'm counting.
