The rule book makes clear that an opponent who jumps into the path of a dribbler needs to gain LGP. However, if the play lacks the defender moving into the path of the dribbler, then no LGP needs to be gained.
If I'm on defense and standing anywhere, the dribbler cannot just run me over just because I am not facing him. No if I move to get in his path, then I have a burden to gain LGP.
In the original situation, I have no trouble calling a PC, waiving off the hot, and going long. It is essentially the same concept as a push (over the back) except the fouler has the ball, making it a PC foul.
Here is a new twist. A1 goes over the back of B1 making contact. While in the air he taps the missed shot in. Do you call a PC foul, and wave off the basket, and shoot no free throws. Or do you call a pushing foul, wave of the basket and shoot bonus(if it applies)?
