now in reverse order, what if the defender has not established LGP and on a drive to the basket the off. player alights and wipes the defender away with his off arm or leads with a leg or a knee to the sternum or groin?

And I just officiate what comes to me. If it's a classic block/charge, LGP or not is enough. If it's an undercut, submarine, etc., etc. I just officiate the play.
What we do requires judgment, timing, a feel for the game, and experience to know what to do, but this ain't brain surgery.
Time to take the afternoon off to get ready for the start of my season. Going to hit the hot tub, the elliptical for a bit, and the hot tub again.
