What would you have, for example, in this play: A1 has inside position on a rebound, B1 is behind A1. B1 reaches for the ball over the top of A1, without displacement, and A1 reaches straight up and contacts B1's arms, knocking the ball loose from B1. Would you have a foul on A1?

Yes, i would.

The difference is that one section talks about the right to actively raise them within the vertical plane if the player has LGP without jeopardy for a foul while the other talks about having them in the vertical plane without jeopardy for a foul.
