A foot on the sideline only has one effect: that player does not have legal guarding position. That player may still be the victim of a player control foul. All they lose by stepping on the line is the right to be moving laterally or obliquely and the right to verticality. A stationary player without LGP can still be fouled.

The NFHS doesn't agree with you, Cameron.
See Situation 7(a) of the Rules Interpretations on their website:

B1 is moving and loses LGP when they step on the line. Thus, it's an automatic block for being in motion when contact occurs.

Nope, it's an automatic block on B1 for being OOB when the contact occurs. Camron, I think that you're trying to read something into that interp that isn't there. Situation 7(a) is written as being all-inclusive. It doesn't mention moving or standing still. It just states quite plainly that, if a defender has one foot OOB, the call has to be a block. That's all you have to look for to call this play--if a defender's foot is OOB,it's gotta be on the defender if contact occurs.
