Legal guarding position?

PC foul all way if A1 displaced B1. B1 did not cause contact and is not responsible. LGP is there to protect the defender when contact occurs. But that does not give the offensive player to push off a defender from their movement because they have the ball.

Would you say that when a defender is in LGP, he/she never initiates contact?

No.

I asked the question really badly. I'm thinking that when a player has LGP, there is very little he can do to foul someone without losing LGP. This is why "refereeing the defense" is so important, right?

A player may make movements that don't cost him LGP but are not protected by LGP.

Like what?

Given that LGP is only relevant to block/charge, I believe that any movement that makes it a block is so because it made them lose LGP.
