He had LGP almost the entire time. Moving has little to do with LGP. The only time, when a player has LGP, that movement becomes illegal is when, at the time of contact, the defender was moving toward the opponent....which is the case in the Duke clip (along with not being vertical...arms extended over opponent).
NFHS quote...but the rules are the same...
The guard may move laterally or obliquely to maintain position, provided it is not toward the opponent when contact occurs.
