Not facing the opponent

LGP offers protection to moving defenders. A stationary defender is entitled to his spot on the floor (and the vertical space above it) regardless of whether he has LGP.

Very well said.

And bainsey, doesn't rule 11-2-4 say that you can't combine self-imposed suspensions with injury recovery time? I think it's clear that they can't be served concurrently. (But I do hope your achilles heals quickly)

Not by my interpretation.

Then again, considering my OP, take strong consideration of what that's worth.

-talking about how the defensive player is entitled to their legal spot on the court, resulting in ruling this type of play a PC foul.
