Oh really?
How about :
SECTION 23 GUARDINGffice ffice" />>>
ART. 1 . . . Guarding is the act of legally placing the body in the path of an offensive opponent.
LGP is only relevant if there is contact. |

Conceded that "being in the path" is a requirement of "gaurding," which is a requirement of LGP.
But simply because a gaurd is not in the path of an offensive player does not
automatically mean the gaurd is moving into the opponent and is responsible for the illegal contact. Take, for instance, a stationary offensive player who fouls a gaurd by pushing, then runs the other way to receive a pass. In the OP, yes, but not universally.
