Good stuff, thanks ... it's makes sense now. Let me see if I can answer the second part.

4-7-2(c), does this mean as a defensive player I must allow a path or I will (could) be called for a block?

The rules states "If there is less than 3 feet of space, the dribbler has the greater responsibility for the contact".
The answer, based on the feedback here is, most probably the D would get the call.
Bottom line is a player (and coach) must be able to adjust their style according to the way the game is being called. I can live with that and actually have been teaching it. Contact under the boards is another one that we adjust to.
