No, and he is moving into A1 at the time of contact.

The "must" section says nothing about being in the path, and nowhere does it define "in the path" anyway.

Come on guys, this is not that difficult. If you are not in the path, you're not even guarding. Thus, you can't possibly have LGP.

Of course, we can still debate what the path is but the fact that it is a fundamental part of guarding is entirely unambiguous.

Fine, then I'm still challenging the definition of path. Otherwise, how do you have a closely guarded count when a ball handler is retreating away from his defender?

To me he is always in his "path" on this play. There is never a moment the offense has a clear lane to the rim.
