So again... what did the dribbler do wrong? He tried going around the defender after the defender had gained LGP, as the book states he must do.

So basically you are looking at this as the defender moved sideways, the dribbler was getting closer to the defender, so therefore the defender did something wrong by not maintaining the same distance between himself and the dribbler?
Am I reading your comments correctly?
If so, you are really wrong...if not, then your attempts to explain your thinking are not coming through very clearly.
