Examples of Legal Guarding Position for Basketball Officials

In this video you'll see multiple game clips of defenders establishing Legal Guarding Position. If the defender gains & maintains Legal Guarding Position (LGP), then you should not penalize the defensive player for the contact. There are also a couple clips that show how the official could have gained a better look at the play by being in a better position on the court. Overall, this is a great review video detailing what LGP is, how to establish it, how to maintain it and who should be penalized for the contact. Hopefully there's something that you've learned from this video & can take with you into the upcoming season!
