We know he doesn't have LGP because he has a foot on the line. The question then is if he has a legal position period. 4-23-1 entitles every player to a "spot on the playing court provided such player gets there first without *illegally contacting an opponent."

So he is out of bounds, by rule. How then does he have a legal position when contact with the dribbler happens?

As far as I can tell, any contact between an OOB player and a dribbler short of intentional/flagrent by A is going to be charged to the defender.

Are you allowing holding by the ball handler because the player is OOB? If the defender is trying to get out of the way and steps OOB, but the offense goes out of their way to jump into the offense (because they see their foot on the line) are you calling a block even though the offense is just standing on the court clearly out of the lane to the basket?

LGP doesn't equal legal position. What is a legal position and why does it matter?
