The interpretation I use to establish LGP is "...the act of legally placing the body in the path of an offensive opponent." plus 4-23-2a&b.

Fair enough. However, the NFHS definition of initial legal guarding position does not include " being in the path of the offensive player"

Pretty sure that NFHS assumed that since they defined guarding as an act of placing one's body in the path of an opponent, that they didn't have to include that portion in a section about legal guarding position.

Sorry I took the quote out of context. Here is the full quote:
Coaches should not teach players to “head hunt” after securing the ball. Defenders must understand that while guarding so close an elbow may hit them which could result in incidental contact to the head or shoulder. While good defense (defense without hand checking, slapping, or other illegal contact) should not be penalized, the offensive player must be allowed room to maneuver the ball without contacting the defensive player. Remember legal guarding position is two feet on the floor and facing the opponent. A defensive player to the side or behind an offensive player is not in a legal guarding position |

Exactly...it is implied by the location in the guarding rule and is assumed that you don't have to redefine each term every time it is used.
