Here's my appeal to rule, as I wrote in post #56:

NFHS 4-23-4b: If the opponent with the ball is airborne, the guard must have obtained legal position before the opponent left the floor.

Very simply, I take this to mean that the guard must have gotten to the spot of contact (his legal position) before the ballhandler left the floor. It's not talking about initial guarding position; that discussed in 4-23-4a. It's not talking about maintaining LGP, because that's covered in 4-23-3.
It says he has to already be at his position before the ballhandler is airborne.

You have not yet addressed why this reasoning is incorrect.
