Agree that this is a foul, I just don't like when offensive players create that much contact (specifically referring to the initial shoulder bump). We all agree we aren't going to call that a charge if the defender stands there and tries to absorb it, but then we are going to give the guy a foul call when his arms aren't entirely vertical?
A no call here would not have bothered me a bit.

If he had kept his arms vertical (and there never were, even before the bump) I would not have a foul for him stepping into A1 when he actually shot.
