You can still be moving and maintain legal guarding position. How would a defender play legal defense if they couldn't move?

Just making sure. I only questioned it after the fact because the coach was just so irate about it. Just a new guy double checking...

It's one of the more misunderstood rules/calls in basketball. If you tell the coach the defender had legal guarding position, he or she will probably get confused and stop complaining.

Had one tonight. Coach said, "He wasn't set, he was backing up!" "Yes coach and you're guy still ran over him."
