Not in my book. If B1 hasn't moved in an hour, it's her spot assuming she's standing normally. I don't care which direction she's facing. If A1 initiates contact against a stationary opponent, A1 gets the whistle if anyone does.
To me, LGP is how we allow a moving defender to draw a pc foul. If the player isn't moving, LGP isn't necessary.

This is my first year working BB with a number of 7th/8th grade tournies and games, little dribbler travelling team tournies, and a couple of easy JV games so far under my belt. (Gotta begin somewhere, right?)
I found this under Rule 10.6.2 ...A dribbler shall not charge into nor contact an opponent in his/her path nor attempt to dribble between two opponents or between an opponent and boundary, unless the space is such as to provide a reasonable chance for him or her to go through without contact.
Nothing is mentioned about which direction the player is facing. Is a LGP necessary for a PC foul?

As Snacks said, absolutely not. If the defender is just standing there, picking her nose, or talking to her mommy who's standing near the sideline, she's got a right to that spot. If dribbler runs into defender, it's PC - or nothing. LGP has to do with how defender maintains legal defense as she moves.
