We try. (okay, to be clear, I try. I won't speak for others). However, let me say that your style of discourse on this board leaves me cold. You remind me of the guy (or gal) at camp who responds to every evaluation with "yeah, but ..."). It's not an IM chat; it's not a personal blog. Different "rules" apply here.

That said, obtaining LGP gives the defender additional rights (the right to move laterally). Not obtaining LGP doesn't take away the right to a spot; it just means that moving into the path of another player is more likely to be a foul.

In the OP, the defender (A1) didn't move into the spot; s/he had the spot first. Contact is the responsibitly of the offense (B1), even if A1 didn't have LGP.
