And, I'm not splitting the atom today. It's too close to call, I got a tie.

Old School:
You can not have a tie, either the defender had a legal guarding position before the contact or he did not. If he did have a LGP then the offensive player is resposible for the contact. NFHS R2-S27-A2 does not apply if the defender has a LGP because he is entitled to his position on the court all of the way up to the ceiling. See Principal of Verticality in the rules book, also learn about a player's Cylinder of Veriticality
