We say that because legal position is defined as a spot on the court reached without illegally contacting an opponent.

It would be better if there was a direct rule or case on the situation because the rules only cover the situation by exception.

Interesting list of statuses. It helps me see your argument, even if I disagree.

You're saying a player who puts his foot on the line is off the court, but authorized?

Where does it say the bold part in the rule book? Keep in mind LGP and entitled to a position are not the same thing.
