Can you define "trying to guard your man"?
No, I definitely can't. But I'm not talking about flinching. The way I visualized the comment from a few posts ago was a player who was standing to take a charge and then anticipating the driving player stopping before make contact fakes a fall backward all the way to the floor. On his way down he is run over. My question then is, does that qualify as legally preventing the offense from advancing.
