B1 never had a LGP as he was never facing A1. B1 moved towards A1 so would have lost LGP even if he had earlier established it. However, B1 was stationary when A1 contacted him.

Is this really a player control foul?
I would use "screening" principles on this (as opposed to "guarding" principles). Thus, if A1 is moving, time and distance are required.
