I don't like that the rule book does not take into account a player looking away from the defender in order to catch a pass, but alas... it doesn't.
This would fall under ART. 5 of the section on guarding, as the defender was initially defending a moving opponent without the ball. To obtain LGP in this case time and distance are factors. However, when the defender got set the offensive player had time and space to avoid contact... he just didn't see that he had to do so. Unfortunately for myself and that offensive player, being able to see the defender being set doesn't matter. It should... but it doesn't.
deecee mentioned that line of sight doesn't matter, and I missed that.
