You can't leave out the requirements that must be met to have the right to 4-45-3.
Cited again....
ART. 1.
Legal guarding position must be obtained initially and movement thereafter must be legal.
ART. 2 . . .
From this position, the defender may rise or jump vertically and occupy the space within his/her vertical plane.
ART. 3 . . . The hands and arms of the defender may be raised within his/her vertical plane while on the floor or in the air.
