The overwhelming response is that most of the situations in a game are judgement calls and since most of what I have heard is that you really cannot get into the head of another ref and define something, what exactly is this forum for it not for asking questions?? I was just wonderin'

Given only the written facts, the scenario may change with unnoted activities. For example:

1. A1 dribbles into the paint and as he starts his shooting motion, there is contact with B1.
2. A1 dribbles into the paint and as he starts his shooting motion, B1 jumps contact occurs.
3. A1 dribbles into the paint and as he starts his shooting motion, B1 jumps and contact occurs on A1's arms.
4. A1 dribbles into the paint and as he starts his shooting motion, B1 jumps and contact occurs on A1's arms. B1 had come from outside the lane.
5. A1 dribbles into the paint and as he starts his shooting motion, B1 jumps and contact occurs on A1's arms. B1 had come from outside the lane perpendicular to A1's path.
6. A1 dribbles into the paint and as he starts his shooting motion, B1 jumps and contact occurs on A1's arms. B1 had come from outside the lane perpendicular to A1's path. A1, sensing B1's block uses his off arm to create space.
7. A1 dribbles into the paint and as he starts his shooting motion, B1 jumps and contact occurs on A1's arms. B1 had come from outside the lane perpendicular to A1's path. A1, sensing B1's block uses his off arm to create space. As B1 left the floor, he was lightly pushed by A2.
8. A1 dribbles into the paint and as he starts his shooting motion, B1 jumps and contact occurs on A1's arms. B1 had come from outside the lane perpendicular to A1's path. A1, sensing B1's block uses his off arm to create space. As B1 left the floor, he was lightly pushed by A2, so that B1 was displaced by 20".
