NFHS rule 10-6-2- "a dribbler shall not charge into or contact an opponent in his/her path...". There's no mention of LGP being needed. As Chuck stated before, LGP only comes into play if the defender moves from the spot that he/she has legally obtained.

Jurassic, I like this post.
Am I understanding that by this rule: if a dribbler does charge into or contact an opponent in his/her path the foul would always be on the dribbler? What about a moving opponent facing the dribbler that never established LGP? Certainly that rule does not indicate that the contact shall be interpreted as a charge.
I can live with player control even though defender B never established LGP. But want to make sure I got it right and by into it. [/QUOTE]
the part of the rule that reads "in his/her path" means that the defneder got there legally -- either by not moving, or by establishing and maintaining LGP
