Note that this has NOTHING to do with legal guarding position.
And that's why a player that never faced a dribbler can still have a legal position on the court
without having a legal guarding position, and be fouled by a dribbbler who runs over that opponent.
The easiest way to call plays like this is to apply screening principles to the dribbler, as we have been directed to do in the COMMENT in case book play 10.6.7.
