Lets say B1 never obtains initial LGP facing the basket and see's A2 in the distance driving for a layup. Several steps before A2 goes airborne B1 slides into A2's path and then A2 lands on B1's back.
Again, I dont understand the purpose of 'initial LGP' if a defender can guard without it.

Read case book play 10.6.1SitA. Note that nowhere in that case play is it stated that the defensive player has to have a LGP.
