Train wreck with no LGP

I misread initial post and thought he was calling foul on B1, not foul on A1. Concur with asessment and rule siting.

Gotta get my reading glasses out and read the fine print......of course, I would NEVER wear my glasses in a game!

Thanks for the caseplays but I understand that this is a foul on A...I guess my new question is why have rule 4-23-2 dealing with ILGP?

Very simple. LGP confers additional rights upon the defender. Specifically, the player is allowed to move laterally or obliquely, raise hands and/or jump vertically, or turn around/duck.

A player who does not establish ILGP has the right to any spot on the floor provided that he gets there first without illegally contacting an opponent, but none of the additional rights named above. For example, if this player is moving laterally at the time of the contact, the proper call would be a blocking foul.

Does that help clarify it for you?

Nah, it's just that most people have never had it explained to them that way before. Once you hear the logic, it makes sense.
