The most uncalled violation in my experience is Player A is defending the ball. Player B cuts around Player A, Another Player A2 anticipates this and assumes a LGP on the other side of his partner. Player B comes around the blind side of Player A and runs into Player A2. I see this called blocking all the time. When by definition he had established LGP more than 1 step from a player who was obstructed.

From that example, player A2 does not need to be a step or more away from B in order to obtain a LGP. A2 just needs to be in front of player B to est. LGP, like any other situation. If A2 gets LGP on B, and B initiates contact, then PC. Where a step must be given, is when an offensive player sets a screen behind a defensive player
