2 situations to discuss:
#1- Man to man pressure so coach has everyone clearout. A1 is able to beat B1 til just past midcourt when B1 catches A1 and is about to pass him. A1 intentionally changes his course and gets into B1's path. B1 is making an effort to avoid contact but A1 (who has maintained his dribble) continues to initiate contact. He's clearly hoping to draw the foul. The book talks about the player from behind is responsible for the contact but I don't know that this is what they are describing. Please explain your call or no-call.
#2- A1 has a breakaway layup with B1 just off his shoulder. Right before A1 gets to the rim he slows just a bit and then jumps into B1's path clearly hoping to draw contact. By defination, B1 never obtained LGP but he also did not initiate the contact. Please explain your call or no-call.
