Block/Charge/Player Control?

Very well answered and explained, bob jenkins...and I would have "guessed" answer B also.(Player control)
But, per the NFHS Case book...10.6.3 SITUATION D...the exact wording is "charging by A1".
This seems to me to be an obvious "player control" foul, and as bob jenkins stated, that is the signal used at the table...so I am wondering why the Case book uses the word "charging". Hmmmmmmmmm?

Dude
P.S. At least the book didn't say "offensive foul"...

Well, you can't "player control." In order for a foul to be a player control foul, it needs to be a foul first. Hell, you could have a blocking foul on A1 which would be PC, but he blocked.

In regards to the catch-land-crash (or catch-air-crash) situation - control is defined as holding or dribbling a live ball inbounds. While airborne, you are inbounds (assuming A2 did not jump from OOB) until you touch something that is OOB. Therefore, you have control once you catch the ball in the air - player control foul upon landing and crashing.
