I see this situation all the time in games and would like to know how other refs handle it. Offensive player A-1 is driving the lane with the ball. There are two defensive players side by side in the lane who have established a legal guarding position on the driving player. There is less than 3 feet between the two defensive players. A-1 drives between the two players and gets his head and shoulders past them but then there's contact with the lower body and all three players go sprawling. 4-7-2 (b) seems to indicate it's a block because A-1 had his head and shoulders past the defensive player(s). 4-7-2(c) seems to indicate that it should be PC becasue there was less than 3 feet of space therefore the dribbler has the greater responsibility. Thoughts?

Player control foul (if you call anything) as per case book play 10.6.2SitC. That's just about the exact play you are describing.

The case book play has contact while trying to split the defenders, the play described had contact AFTER the head and shoulders got past. Apples and oranges.
