I don't know if what they did qualifies as coming together.
I would've had a charge here and lead was well positioned to make this call.

So much so that you'd say the defender had left her verticality and this no longer had LGP?

Looked to me she gained LGP and drew a charge.

Defense has LGP and is allowed to twist to protect themselves. Not sure what they did wrong here?

They are allowed to turn in place or away, not towards the opponent. This defender turned into the shooter not to protect themselves to be create more contact.

That's a charge. The defender did a fantastic job.

He turned his left shoulder in to guarantee the contact.

*Defenders aren't required to become statues once their feet hit the ground. It's not a fair expectation.
*Every player has their own vertical plane and they're allowed to rise within that plane. That includes straightening up.
*If their body moves forward outside their vertical plane and there's contact, they've committed a foul.

Defenders are hurting themselves by embellishing and/or exaggerating the contact.

We're all going to see things differently at times but to me it doesn't appear the defender is moving forward outside his vertical plane. Sure, his chest puffs out but that might have been a method of absorbing the contact. Regardless, I'm not seeing him move outside his vertical plane - i.e., in front of his feet. Assuming a defender is in LGP to begin with they're allowed to rise or jump vertically and occupy that space. They're not permitted to "belly up" or use their lower body to cause contact outside their vertical plane.
