LGP to me is an overrated term. It is a good example of a little knowledge may be worse than no knowledge at all. A guy sits in the stands for years yelling, "That's a blocking foul! He wasn't set!" Then, he sits next to Padgett at a game one night, and is given a lollipop and a complimentary rule book along with an explanation of Legal Guarding Position. Then, the very next night, B1 is beaten off the dribble by A1, who has a clear path to the basket. As B1 sprints to catch up, A1 sees him out of the corner of his eye and clears out with his inside arm as he goes up for the shot. The guy is outraged and confused. "What? He never had Legal Guarding Position? Where's that Padgett guy?"
Padgett is on the court, reporting the foul, after waving off the basket, which would have sent the game into overtime.
