Given the new standard and how the instruction has been to call more blocking fouls, I would lean that way. I also believe that the contact being only on the left side of the defender's torso probably unduly influences the decision as it gives the impression that the defender was late in getting to his required spot.
2. The player clearly decided to hang around an extra second with no one under him. The official enforced the rule exactly as written. Unfortunately, this is not the norm and people aren't used to seeing this call made except in extreme situations. I put the T in the "correct call" column.

#1. I felt he
had LGP but the shooter was going to slip to the side and the defender slid over just a little more after the shooter was up....watch the defender's right foot slide in even after the shooter is airborne bringing the torso a bit more to the left into the shooter and causing more contact than their otherwise would have been.
#2. My first inclination on the hang was actually a T. However, after looking at it more closely, I decided there was enough uncertainty about it to warrant a T...not just the players underhim but the appearance of him just being wildly off balance more than showboating.
