I guess I don't see this. Since they can clearly have a defender in their own courtyard, as long as no pin comes into play, if they touch you than wouldn't it just be defense and not trying to force a foul.

If I was a ref and I saw a team blocking access to the HP slots that a team was trying to get to there is no way that this would be called as intentionally trying to draw a foul. Additionally I think that an interpretation of G25 might come into play after it was done a few times, as it is intentionally impeding the flow of the match (although none of the definitions clearly define it as such in the current manual)
