It appears to me that you're thinking that A1 is entitled to the space above his extended foot, which is his pivot foot, but not the space the rest of him is in. Is that you position?

You are almost there. A1 is entitled to the space above his/her foot as well as his/her body. From the description in the original post, A1 was not described a pivoting about his/her pivot foot, which if this were the case and A1 made contact with B1 who had a legal guarding position, then the foul would be charged to A1.

Mark, if the defense can not use their lower body to cause contact...you know EXTEND IT BEYOND THEIR VERTICAL PLANE...why is A1 given that space when NONE of A1's body is VERTICAL in this play.
To take that further, let's say B1 has LGP and is vertical they then lean back and are no longer vertical, as they lean back A1 occupies that space, now B1 leans forward BEYOND a vertical position and contacts A1. By your logic A1 has committed a PC foul because they entered the UNOCCUPIED space above B1's foot then got PUSHED by B1.
