The only thing that
HAS to occur with the feet is that at some point, both feet have to be touching the ground and the defender must be facing the player he is guarding. At that point, LGP is established, and the defender may move/jump/run/stand on one foot and LGP is maintained until the offensive player gets his head/shoulders past the defender or the defender stops guarding the ball handler.
There is also no minimum distance for LGP to be established, so the defender could be standing at the FT line w/ the ball handler at half court and LGP could be established.
