17.I.4.c.2

A player may not take a position that is unavoidable by a moving opponent when time, distance, and line of sight are considered.

Solely. The intent of the player's movement can be partly motivated to prevent an opponent from taking an unoccupied path to the disc, so long as it is part of a general effort to make a play on the disc. Note, if a trailing player runs into a player in front of them, it is nearly always a foul on the trailing player.
