How does one defend this statement by rule?
If the defender has established legal guarding position and then leans back, starts to fall before contact (into the torso) is made by the offensive player, shouldn't this still be a charge?

I usually stick with the PC/charging foul. My interp is that starting to fall back is akin to bracing for the impact.
I've never had an egregious case to warrant the unsporting T.
