What are your thoughts? ... JO
A legal guarding postion has nothing to do with this play. Both players are moving in the same direction. The dribbler cannot simply force himself in the the defender who is running down the floor. The dribbler initiated the contact. If the dribbler pushed off with his off arm, is a LGP still required? No. So why is it any different if he uses his body to push through the defender? Is isn't.

If a foul is called, it should be a PC foul.
