Had this explained to me tonight. The guy can stand alone for the remainder of the shot clock if he is uncovered. The moment he becomes guarded, he has 5 seconds to pass, shoot, or make a concious move in the direction of the basket. If he does not, it doesn't matter if he dribbles the entire time or not, it is a 5 second violation.
