JOIN NOWWhere is the 3ft taken from?
When a shooter lands in the circle and then turns on her landing heel to get closer to the post, am I right in thinking that the 3ft distance for the defender is measured from where her landing foot toe now is rather than where it was when she originally landed? And is it dependant upon whether the defender is marking from in front or behind ie if it's from behind then it's 3 ft from the shooter's landing heel and if it's from in front then it's from their landing toe?

you are correct in assuming that the 3 ft is measured from the toe of the grounded foot (after the pivot) from in front (which is very importatnt when shooters turn on their heal and so the toe has moved forward) and the heal of the grounded foot from behind.
