Legally Obtain A Defensive Position ...

ART 9 When a dribbler in his/her progress is moving in a straight-line path, he/she may not be crowded out of that path, but if an opponent is able to legally obtain a defensive position in that path, the dribbler must avoid contact by changing direction or ending his/her dribble.

How does a player legally obtain a defensive position?

To obtain an initial legal guarding position:
b. The front of the guard’s torso must be facing the opponent.


There has to be an easy answer to this situation? Right?

As just another ref stated earlier, it must be this:

Every player is entitled to a spot on the playing court provided such player gets there first
without illegally contacting an opponent.
