Is that right?
Thanks.

No. Verticality applies only to a player in LGP.

Can't agree with that either. Rule 4-44 states that verticality applies to a "legal position". It doesn't say a "legal guarding position". As far I know, the purpose and intent of this rule was to have it apply to any player- offense or defense- that takes up a legal position on the court. It certainly applies to a shooter. Go straight up and any contact is usually called on the defender. Don't go straight up and it could be called on either player. That's what R10-6-1 is implying also, imo.
