Whether or not B1 is guilty or not of overacting he/she cannot be charged with any type of Foul (Personal or Technical) because B1 was in a LGP when A1 breached B1's Cylinder of Verticality

This was more along the lines of my thread OP.
How much shoulder contact from OIC constitutes a charge call if you can't call block? I think it's tough to say on paper (forum) and more about your perception of advantage via contact on the court throughout the game.
