How would you call these situations?

I'd have no travel here.

#2: A1 drives baseline side from the corner. When A1 picks up his dribble, he realizes he is too far underneath the basket to go straight up with a shot. B1 has moved in behind A1 and established LGP. B1 has his arms raised not straight up, but closer to straight up than he is 45 degrees. A1 jumps backwards into B1 to attempt a shot. Is there a foul here, or is it a no call?

My guess would be PC if anything.

I'm not getting out my protractor, but I'm not likely to bail out the offense here. No call (if the defense is not disadvantaged) or PC.
