In both situations, if B1 has not established LGP, we have a block on B1. In both situations, if B1 does not maintain verticality, which causes the contact, we have a block (or hold or some other foul) on B1.
OK, now what if B1 establishes LGP and maintains verticality? Do we have a charge in both situations? If so, what's the point of the "greater responsibility" statement that applies to situation 2 but not situation 1?
I guess my question is, what actions by B1 will lead to a different call (or no call) in these two situations?

(In both plays, assume LGP to start)
1) A1 tries to go around B1. B1 moves to maintain position, and is still movign when contact is made on the torso. Charge.
2) A1 tries to go around B1. B1 moves to maintain position, but A1 gets head and shoulders past B1. B1 is still moving when contact is made. Block.
