Legal pick?

Not a chance, IMO.

I see the body extending from the vertical as well as the arms coming away from the body. At minimum it's a personal foul. Excessive contact enters my mind - no doubt.

I had almost this same play in a game last year, except the defender (B2 in this situation) ran over the screener (A2). B2 was completely blindsided, but when she turned around they made contact and A2 fell over. Of course everyone was screaming but I let it go.

Edit: As for the video, there is no way it's intentional. It's VERY borderline in my opinion on whether it's even a foul or not. Hard to tell from the video.

I don't speak for JR, but I think GM is real. However, I see it get tossed out as the reason for either bad calls (calling a foul when none should be called), no calls (on violations, for example) (wait, those are game interrupters, never mind), or ignoring unsporting behavior. It almost seems like it's used as a catch-all excuse for taking the easy way out.
