err...well, I know he still has lgp while backpedalling. And yes he's still guarding, even for purposes of a 5 second closely guarded count.

Why wouldn't he be guarding or maintain lgp?

Okay, okay, I WAS WRONG!!!

But that's my outer female responding, not my inner male, so I'm not going to get vulgar about it.

I had 7th grade girls last night, so my toggles were adjusted incorrectly for the OP. I was thinking about the little girl standing just outside the key waving to her mommy, when suddenly, the shadow of a very large and fast-moving shooter looms larger over her. She cowers, steps back again, and then again and wham!! The impact is tremendous. Crack! goes her head against the floor. She wails in pain and humiliation, but her agony is short-lived as her teammates jump up and scream in congratulation and approbation! The fans go wild!! She rises tearful but victorious from the floor and walks to the bench showered with confetti and praise. Her mother quietly slips her some Tylenol for the headache.

(edited to remove vulgar comment from inner male)

She was never guarding, so technically never had LGP. See? that was the type of sitch I envisioned. I promise I'll never, never again think 7th grade girls when the OP is talking about something else.

Now STFU!!

Sorry, I couldn't stop him...

Maybe you can ask your inner adult to edit this response?

edit to note it's not clear that your little friend never initiated lgp from the description given.

You think I should?

Is that your inner adult getting bossy? or what?

Yeah, your inner adult is definitely AWOL today.

okay, so I'll remove the vulgarity, which is after all, strictly gratuitous. Anything else?

Yeah.

Apparently when your inner adult decided to take the day off he took your inner sense of humor with him. Or her. Or whatever.
