Because they go into great detail on what legal guarding is, but say little to nothing in regards to legally trying to avoid a charging call. It's like once a defender has LGP, they can do no wrong, and therefore any contact is the fault of the offense.

The dribbler has to stop or change direction...he needs to change direction in a manner in which the defender will lose LGP. The rule book doesn't go into much detail (besides mentioning greater responsibility for contact shifting to the defender if the dribbler gets head and shoulders past the defender) because how much more detail do you need?

This is not true. In the first place LGP can be lost just as quickly as it was established, depending on the movement of both players. Also, a player may have LGP then commit a foul by moving forward into the dribbler or by extending an arm and making contact. And of course the foul can still be on the offense without the defender ever having LGP at all.

You cannot "legally" avoid a charging call. It either is a PC or it isn't. The defender either HAD and maintained LGP or he didn't. The rules states what it takes for all these to apply.

The defender established LGP and maintained it when the contact occurred.
