NFHS: LGP or not? PC or block?

A1 receives a pass and fakes a shot from behind the three point arc. The fake gets B1 (A1's defender) in the air, and A1 dribbles past B1 into the lane area. Defender B2, who was standing on the block in a zone defense, believing A1 shot the ball, turns to face the basket (never facing A1) expecting to get a possible rebound of A1's faked shot attempt. A1 plows into the back of a stationary B2, knocking B2 down.

I've got a player control foul on A1, but I'm not sure why.

Am I correct, and why, or why not?

Good example, better than mine although I just witnessed mine last week.

If going by definition of charging, you are correct with a PCF in your case.

One thing many tend to forget is that "torso" means trunk of the body. This includes the back, not necessarily just the front.

Good point. Thanks.
