In one of last weekend's games, player A1 dribbled past defender B1, driving into B2, who was facing the other way and stationary, guarding A2. Ref called B2 for a block, saying that he had not established LGP, since he never faced A1. This made sense to me at the time, but now I wonder. This reminds me of when an offensive player is dribbling up court and runs into a defender that is facing the other way. I thought this was a charge. What are the correct guidelines regarding contact with a defensive player who is not guarding the player with the ball?
