I agree with your position.More importantly(because my opinion don't mean squat),the NFHS rulebook also agrees with you.
See casebook play 10.6.2SitB-COMMENT-"When both the dribbler and the opponent are moving in exactly the same path and same direction,the player BEHIND is responsible for contact which results if the player in front slows down or stops". A "legal guarding position" is not mentioned in this call at all.
