What is all this legal guarding position crap they are talking about....

It's what's required by the defense to basically draw an offensive foul. A defensive player does NOT have to be set to draw a charge. It's never been in the book. All they have to do is establish a legal guarding position. Here it is from the rule book.

Art. 4. To establish an initial legal guarding position on the player with the ball:

a. The guard shall have both feet touching the playing court. When the guard

jumps into position initially, both feet must return to the playing court after

the jump, for the guard to attain a legal guarding position.

b. The guard’s torso shall face the opponent.

c. No time and distance shall be required.

d. When the opponent with the ball is airborne, the guard shall have attained

legal guarding position before the opponent begins his upward motion

with his hands/arms to shoot or pass. (Exception: Rule 4-17.7)

Art. 5. To establish legal guarding position on a player without the ball:

a. Time and distance shall be required to attain an initial legal guarding

position;

b. The guard shall give the opponent the time and distance to avoid contact;

c. The distance given by the opponent of the player without the ball need not

be more than two strides; and

d. When the opponent is airborne, the guard shall have attained legal

guarding position before the opponent left the playing court.
