Oh really?

How about:

SECTION 23 GUARDINGfficeffice" />>>
ART. 1 . . . Guarding is the act of legally placing the body in the path of an offensive opponent.

LGP is only relevant if there is contact. If the guard is not in their path at the time of contact, that means the guard is moving into the opponent and does not have LGP.

Conceded that "being in the path" is a requirement of "gaurding," which is a requirement of LGP.

But simply because a gaurd is not in the path of an offensive player does not automatically mean the gaurd is moving into the opponent and is responsible for the illegal contact. Take, for instance, a stationary offensive player who fouls a gaurd by pushing, then runs the other way to receive a pass. In the OP, yes, but not universally.
