I need help explaining to the coach why the shoulder is the non-issue if B1 did not establish first.
Here are some comments from the "complaint" sent to me:
"I understand the nuances of the blocking foul on # 3. As I pointed out in my email, our player (#3) should have been charged with a blocking foul, as he clearly was not set prior to the contact. I was not lobbying for a "charge" either, because you can't have a charge and a blocking call symultaneously. My issue is the lowering of the shoulder and aggressive drive into the lane by the other team's player."
This is a little different than his first argument where he wanted the charge, now he is arguing that A1 should receive a foul after his player is called for the block, based on the aggressive nature of the move.

It sounds to me like he's asking for (or about) a double foul, one half of which is intentional or flagrant based on A1's actions.
Take a similar play where B1 gets to the spot late, but A1 punches B1 as part of the move.
It's unlikely that happened based just on the "lowering of the shoulder", but it's possible.
