Legal Guarding Position
Legal Guarding Position:
We call a legal guarding position when a defender have both feet must be inbounds or the foul ( assuming there is a foul ) was on defense.
The change made on Rule 4-23 was made because different officials were calling it different ways, and it needed to be clarified.
In another words, if the offensive player initiates contact by trying to force his way between the defender and the sideline, it is an offensive foul, unless the defender has a foot touching the line or outside the line, in which case it is a defensive foul .
The way it is written the rule only applies to obtaining the position, not maintaining it. However, the interpretation that has come out with it also add that it applies to maintaining LGP.
