The one exception I conceive is B stepping in front of a driving A to take charge without establishing legal guarding position. I believe that the legal guarding position provisions are intended to address a player that moves to take a charge, not a stationary player that is run into by a moving player who is out of control. While this exception requires some subjective judgment, I think everyone knows what it looks like when a player steps in front to draw a foul rather than being stationary.

If you object to this interpretation of the rules, what rule and/or reasoning would you offer in support of an alternative reading?

Coach,
I rarely use the adjective "Stationary" when interpretting a player control foul vs. block call. That is why "they" use the term "initial guarding position".
Just a thought.
