on who got there first. But legal guarding position is
useful for making calls involving screens or torso to torso
contact. I'm not so sure it applies here, but I'm open to
being convinced otherwise.

I'm saying that even straddling A1's leg B1 has legal guarding position, as long as B1 stops short of contact. At least, this is the position I thought we all agreed on a few months ago -- That A1's owned space was above and below the hips, and if the leg was extended out of that space, then the defender could straddle the leg.

I'm not even going to try the alliteration thing. Remember, I've got a life!
