It's a close call no doubt, but I still go block

Shouldn't it be a determining factor if you feel the defender has LGP? If the defender has LGP and gets hit in the chest how can the foul be on him? The offense didn't get head and shoulders past. Now if you want to say he didn't have LGP than I understand the point of center of chest not being the determining factor. However I feel he got back in the path of the offensive player before he leaves the floor. It is close and I can understand how you can see it the other way as well.

You're right, and I agree with you how you worded this, I actually meant that center of the chest is irrelevant, because if you have LGP, you don't have to take it square in the chest, contact can be anywhere.

Yes I agree with this. I was just meaning in this particular play it appeared in the center.
