10 second rule

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Let's say Baker steals the ball under his own basket.

Dribbles a few times for 4 seconds then calls timeout.

When RU inbounds, do they get a fresh 10 seconds to get the ball over midcourt?

Or only 6 seconds?

After a timeout, the 10 second count restarts to cross mid court line.

The rule I think most refs don't understand or choose to enforce outside of the last two mintues is the 5 second rule. When closely guarded you can't hold the ball for 5 seconds. You can't dribble (generally dribble without driving to the basket) for 5 seconds. You can't hold the ball after your dribble for 5 seconds. Penn State was given a 5 second violation after about 7 seconds and was shocked at the call.

"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 thought the NCAA abandoned the 5 second rule a couple of years ago, no?

Believe you’re right

5 second rule still applies but the hold/dribble/hold = 15 second thing is gone. Holding or dribbling makes no differnece. You only get 5 seconds to move.

I thought the defender has to approach you for the 5 second rule to kick in.

Defender has to be within 6 feet of the offensive player.

The 5 second rule applies to pizza dropped on a relatively clean floor.

Looked it up. So the new rule did away with the 5 second rule that applied to a player when dribbling. It used to be that if closely guarded you had to go towards the basket within 5 seconds. You can now dribble for as long as you want without making a move to the basket without a 5 second call. But, you are otherwise correct. If closely guarded, a player can't just stand there with the ball for more than 5 seconds.
