How we call a legal guarding position when a defender straddles the sideline in
order to block the path of the dribbler?

Rule 4-23 clarifies that in order for a player to establish
legal guarding position, both feet must be touching the “playing court.”

Ok! But how the Referee calls and the Stats-man charges when a defender straddles the
sideline in order to block the path of the dribbler ?
How to call and charge this play ?

Both feet must be inbounds or the foul (assuming there is a
foul) was on defense. That's all !

Both feet must be inbounds or the foul (assuming there is a foul) was on defense. The
change made on Rule 4-23 was made because different officials were calling it different
ways, and it needed to be clarified.
In another words, if the offensive player initiates contact by trying to force his way
between the defender and the sideline, it is an offensive foul, unless the defender has a
foot touching the line or outside the line, in which case it is a defensive foul.
The way it is written the rule only applies to obtaining the position, not
maintaining it.
However, the interpretation that has come out with it also add that it applies to
maintaining LGP.
