I read it slightly different. It says you can get in the path, once LGP has occured. However, LGP says nothing about being in the path.
The definition of "guarding" does talk about the path.
ART. 1
Guarding is the act of legally placing the body in the path of an offensive opponent. There is no minimum distance required between the guard and opponent, but the maximum is 6 feet when closely guarded. Every player is entitled to a spot on the playing court provided such player gets there first without *illegally contacting an opponent. A player who extends an arm, shoulder, hip or leg into the path of an opponent is not considered to have a legal position if contact occurs.
