Since B5 never had legal guarding position (never faced A2), is this never a player control foul on A2, and always a blocking foul on B5?
Or not, because B5 was never guarding A2, but was guarding A5?
(Note: I'm trying to scrutinize the definitions of guarding, and legal guarding position.)

This is not a LGP situation. Read the part about each player being entitled to a spot on the court as long as it was achieved legally............or something to that effect.
