So in th OP it was stated
No where does it explicitly state that LGP is required to start closely guarded. I have to ask, would you start counting in Camron's play?:

However, B1 continuously maintains a position that is 2'-4' from A1.

B1 has satisfied the requirements for a count. However, B1 has not satisfied the requirements for LGP and is not protected from being guilty of a foul if B1 is moving at the time of contact...even if B1 is moving laterally.
