JR, thanks for the elaboration on that point. I'd like to add that if the defender remains stationary and vertical, but the dribbler manages (through some contortion) to get head and shoulders past the torso and causes contact that knocks both players to the floor.... PC.

After reading your post and assuming you are correct...then you can take the head and shoulders guideline and throw it out the door.

Not at all. We just have to realize it's a guideline and not a rule. The point of my post is to point out that there are going to be exceptions. You're telling me that you're calling a block on a stationary (and vertical) B1 because A1 happens to be a contortionist who can use the loophole in the rule by getting his head and shoulders past B1 before taking B1 out with his legs?
