If the ball handler starts backing in, and the defender falls down, it's usually a foul; unless something makes me think the defender flopped.
Sitch:
A1 has just rec'd the ball in the post facing away from basket. B1 is already in LGP behind him. A1 starts bumping/backing B1 towards the hoop. B1 keeps taking the bumps but maintaining LGP. (B1 is giving up position, but not LGP).
A1 scores, no fouls.

So, is what you are saying, there is no PC foul UNLESS A1 physically knocks B1 "out of" LGP?

I think I'm finally comprehending....!
