4-23 Gurading is the act of legally placing the body in the path of an OFFENSIVE opponent.
So, guarding is an act by the defense.
Only the offensive player is protected by 4-23-4b and 4-23-5d (if airborne, the guard must have obtained legal position before the opponent left the floor)
So, yes, which player has the ball can be a consideration.
I have a foul on the defense.
