B1 got into position as A1 was midstrde between his right and left feet You're calling a block? You're using the wrong rule. The rule you quote (4-41-3) does not state when the defender must get to his spot, its only purpose is to determine whether a shot counts with a defensive foul before the ball is released.

APG's case play and the rule it notes (4-23-5) would be a great place to start.

YES I think you might have it know, although the strides in this particular play are a bit unrealistic but if someone where able to realize such a distance it would be legal.
Rule 4- 41 is trying to tell you when the shot has begun.
I have not received the NFHS 2011-12 Case Book.
What is APG?
NFHS Rule 4-23-5 speaks of guarding a moving opponent without the ball.
