What would you have?
Situation 2
A1 drives to the basket. B1 has legal guarding position and appears prepared to take a charge. A1 changes path of drive and contact occurs with the shoulder of B1 while attempting the shot. What would you call?

Regarding situation 1, does the defender lose LGP when he turns his back? I think it's either block or no call, because the contact isn't to the defender's torso.
For Sit. 2, assuming the defender doesn't move laterally when A1 avoids contact, I have no call.
