Rule 4-23-2 To obtain an initial legal guarding position:
a) The guard must have both feet touching the playing court.
b) The front of the guard's torso must be facing the opponent.
Art.3... After the initial legal guarding position is obtained:
a) The guard may have one or both feet on the playing court or be airborne, provide he/she has inbounds status.
b) The guard is not required to continue facing the opponent.
c) The guard may move laterally or obliquely to maintain position, provided it is not toward the opponent when contact occurs.
d) The guard may raise hands or jump within his/her own vertical plane.
e) The guard may turn or duck to absorb the shock of imminent contact.
As I watch more games I see more blocking calls than charging; thus part of why I asked this initial question. Although in one game over the weekend it seemed they called more charging in the first half and more blocking in the second.
