I brought this up because it would be a factor in this play if we consider calling a PC foul. And this defender that was landed on was not in LGP. If you are going to have a PC Foul, then you better discuss that part of this play too.

sorry, but there's more justification for a PC foul (by rule) than a bocking foul. I'm still going with the T for hanging on the rim and ignoring the contact.
I think if someone called either they would be chewed out at least they would in my world. Just because you say there is more justification for one foul over another does not make it so either. Maybe you feel there is more justification personally, but the fact that no one independently brought this up as an issue other than an official that is trying to learn (nothing wrong with that at all) is telling to me how many would even consider such a call.
