Here is an example of a defender guarding the dribbler without having a LGP (actually the defender is setting a moving screen against the dribbler):

A1 is dribbling the ball down the court parallel to the Sideline, with the SL to his right, and B1 is running next to him, on his left just short of contact, stride for stride. Now for the good part: A1 decides to change directions and moves to his left and makes contact with B1 and displaces B1. What do you have?

MTD, Sr.


Some people said that it is an illegal screen by A1, a block by B1, or a no-call.
Block...defender not in LGP can't be moving when contact occurs unless it is in the same path and direction as the opponent...and a parallel path is not the same path.
