Legal Guarding Position + Wackiness

I was having the player kneel simply as part of the story. He could very well have been standing but I wanted to give a reason for not exactly going IB immediately.

Indeed, most players won't stop and indeed, if they are kneeling, the inbounder isn't going to run into them and indeed it would happen at lower levels and indeed it would be handled accordingly and indeed.... Good points by all.

If an inbounder intentionally ran into the kneeling/standing player, my gut would be a no-call or offensive foul, depending on actual actions.

What would your rationale and/or rule support be for a offensive foul?

As a response for this question, my rationale would be that it was an impolite gesture.

That's reasonable.
