I don't know for sure what you do in the States, or Canada for that matter, but under FIBA rules he is allowed to move sideways to maintain a legal guarding position.
And I tried to find something in my old NCAA rule book ... there it says:
- Every player shall be entitled to a spot on the playing court provided such player gets there first without illegally contacting an opponent.
- The guard may shift to maintain guarding position in the path of the dribbler provided the guard does not charge into the dribbler.
Did that change???

I do totally agree.

Where did you find that information?
