NCAA-W restricted area and retreating
NCAA-W rule set. 10-4-7
Fast break. B1 establishes "initial legal guarding position" 1 step outside the restricted area (arc).
PRIOR to contact, B1 takes a legal step backwards and A1 makes contact while B1 is now in the arc.
Automatic block? Or can B1 retreat after establishing and PC against A1 is possible?
I thought I remembered that B1 could retreat, but I did not find it in the case book. Did I miss remember, or is it an interpretation somewhere?
The key to the question is initial legal guarding position.
