RULING: B1 was a secondary defender who illegally established initial guarding position within the restricted area. Consequently, the blocking call against B1 is the correct call.
(Rule 4-35 and 10-1.13)

Interesting. In the other cases, which call is correct has nothing to do with it.

Because in this case, BY RULE it is a blocking foul. In the other case there is no default call.

It's an entirely different case because in this scenario, it's only a matter of if the defender was in the RA or not.

The ruling is also true in the NBA and NCAA-W with regard to the lower defensive box.
