Ugh!
I was just about to step into the shower to get ready for a JV boys game, when it dawned on me what I was getting wrong in my interpretation.
The sideways movement by the defender didn't directly cause the contact. Sure, his sideways movement caused him to be closer to the dribbler than when he initially gained LGP, but getting closer to the dribbler is not grounds for being penalized. Causing contact is grounds for being penalized. The defender didn't do that.
The dribbler still has to avoid contact after the sideways movement... and he didn't. Thus a PC foul.
Sorry to cause you all headaches.
