True or false?
I strongly believe it is true but Does anyone have a citation for it?

As written, that is not true. The truth is that the guard bears
the greater responsibility for any contact, but the guard is not always responsible for the contact. For example, the dribbler may reach this point and then use an arm to shove the defender away or wrap it around the defender's back and hook the guard to prevent him from recovering to a better defensive position. Both of those would rightly be called player control fouls.
