I guess it's quite difficult for the guard to move having both feet on the floor.

Once legal guarding position is establish the defender may move to maintain position but may not move into the offensive player to create contact.

The second one, I agree. Don't read too much into it.

True or False?

When guarding a moving opponent with the ball, the defender does not have to give the opponent time and/or distance to avoid contact.

4-23: Guarding an opponent with the ball or a stationary opponent without the ball: a. No time or distance is required to obtain an initial legal position.

2009-10 Point of Emphasis, Block/Charge: Points to remember when a defender is guarding a player with the ball: 1) Time and distance are of no consequence. If the defender gets to the spot first and is in a legal guarding position, the onus is on the person with the ball.
