I agree with your call Indy in this situation, because, as MDex points out, a push is a whole different ball game. For Mdenucci (and any others who want to help me with this), I would ask your opinion on this situation, because these guarding provisions have frankly confused me from the moment I tried to apply them to game situations.
A has ball and is driving toward hoop. Just before A goes up for shot, B steps into path of A and sets feet firmly on floor until A crashes into B a brief moment later. B has back to A the whole time. I have always thought that this is PC on A, but the establishment of initial legal guarding position has not occurred. It seems to me that A still ran into B, PC foul. But then why the discussion of initial legal guarding position and torso facing A in 4.7.2a and 4.23.2b? Is there anyone who can explain this in terms that a coach can understand?!
