Defender's Wide Stance - LGP?
Group video study today yielded this question:
A1 crashes into B2 who fulfilled the two requisites of LGP, both feet on the playing court with torso facing the opponent. Contact was caused by A1, but it wasn't on the torso, it was on the upper thigh of the B2, who was stationary, but standing with a wide stance, his feet much farther apart than his shoulders. Is this a block by a B2 who "extended his leg into the path of an opponent" (4-23-1)? Or... Is this a charge by A1 who caused illegal contact against B2 in legal guarding position who just happened to be standing there with a wide stance? The requirement to keep the feet "within his/her vertical plane with a stance approximately shoulder width apart" is specified for a screener (4-40-2d), but nowhere is that expectation stated for a defender that I can find. By rule, is a wide stance (feet wider than shoulder width) legal for a defender maintaining LGP?
