Regarding the rule of a blocking foul to be called if the defender has a foot on the OOB line. What if the offensive player lowers the shoulder and makes contact with the player OOB. Which takes precedent? Do you have a PC foul or a block?

This rule simply states that a player who is OOB can't have LGP. It doesn't say they can't be fouled. If the foul doesn't depend on LGP, you can still have an offensive foul.

First of all, I appreciate the help, Camron, but I am going to have to disagree with you based on what rules meetings I have been to in my area. They have stressed that NO MATTER what the defender is doing (shuffling the feet to keep pace with the defender, etc), if the offensive player does an act (and they usually use the lowering the shoulder example) to create separation, it should be called an offesive foul. Are my rules people off on this? That is why I asked the question originally because I have been drilled with the fact that an offensive player lowering the shoulder should be called a PC foul.

I think that you might be missing the key point of Camron's response above. The call for a dribbler lowering a shoulder into the torso of a defender does depend on whether that defender had LGP or not. A dribbler pushing off with an arm doesn't necessarily have anything at all to do with LGP and can be a PC foul.
