And you would be judging incorrectly by rule.
See NFHS rule 4-23-1. Guarding is a defender legally placing their body in the
PATH of an offensive opponent. If the defender is at the
side, he can't be in the path.
B1 may have a legal position on the floor, but he does not have a legal
guarding position. They are 2 completely different concepts.
