A player who extends an arm, shoulder, hip or leg into the path of an opponent is not considered to have a legal position if contact occurs.

By NFHS rules the act of guarding does not require a guard to establish LGP. Merely placing himself in the opponent's path is sufficient. Articles 2 and 3 then go on to describe how to obtain LGP and what he is legally entitled to do once it has been obtained.

What is "legally placing the body in the path" mean to you then? You are falling back to the spot on the floor argument which I have refuted with the definition of Player Location. The player is not on the floor legally.
