Hi - One more - Just wanted to confirm my idea.

A1 is dribbling downcourt, with B1 in front of them, running sideways in front of them, having never established a legal guarding position. A1 reaches out and pushes B1, clearly displacing them from their current movement. Call?

My presumption is PC or No-Call, depending on the severity of the push and displacement. Some people have said that it can't be PC, because B1 never obtained a LGP. My premise it is a foul to reach out and push someone, regardless of who or where, therefore, since it is a foul, and it is by the dribbler, it is a PC.

Thanks in advance!

This is a pushing foul by A1. Since A1 was in control of the ball at the time of the foul, A1's foul is a player control foul. From the description of your play I would speculate that B1 had already obtained/established a legal guarding postion against A1.
