Right, and unless A1 is kicking his legs on the way (which doesn't happen), it's always a block, period. Be it primary, secondary, or quinary defender, it's a block. For that reason, I still don't get what the RA accomplishes.

It deters the defense from attempting to take charges in the 3'/4' RA.
Reduces potential injuries to the offense & defense in the heart of the paint.
Promotes scoring.

No, it's not -- if you're currently calling NFHS rules. I call that a PC foul every time. However, I'd be happy if they change the rule to match the NCAA/NBA.

Are we on the same page here?

If a defender establishes LGP after a shooter leaves the floor, and contact takes place, by rule, it's a block.

That's not what the rule is. The rules say the guard is responsible for the contact in that situation. The contact must hinder in the opponent from preforming his normal movements for it to be a foul.

A defender can't establish LGP after the shooter leaves the floor, so your statement makes no sense.
