If there is an appreciable amount of contact, that's when you have to worry about LGP,etc. to make either a block or charge call.

Thanks, JR. Let me twist the knife a bit further: There can be a appreciable amount of contact as the player is flopping (they wouldn't be taking the dive if someone wasn't bearing down on them). We all know that. You mention if there IS alot of contact, then you have to worry about LGP.
Back to my original question: at what point in the flop does the defender lose his LGP? When he hits the floor? At 74.6 degrees from perpendicular to the floor? At some point in the flop the defender loses LGP. Or, as the rule states, all flops are fouls. I just wonder how the pros rationalize this?

B1 does not lose LGP when he leans back.
Ever.
