Because B1 is playing great defense, he's watching A1's torso (as he was coached) and doesn't notice that his foot has now touched the out-of-bounds line. A1 causes torso-to-torso contact and displaces B1. Official calls a block on B1 by rule. Just doesn't seem right.

The rationale put forth by the FED is that the you can only have LGP if you're in-bounds. OOB = always illegal defense without exception. Might not seem right, but dem's the rules. Except in Washington.
