Conjecture A on decomposition numbers of defect-two characters

Let GG be a finite group, let pp be a prime, and let χIrr(G)\chi\in\operatorname{Irr}(G) satisfy

Gp=p2χ(1)p.|G|_p=p^2\cdot\chi(1)_p.

Here npn_p denotes the largest power of pp dividing the integer nn, IBr(G)\operatorname{IBr}(G) is a set of irreducible pp-Brauer characters of GG, χ0\chi^0 is the restriction of χ\chi to the elements of GG of order prime to pp, and

IBr(χ0)={φIBr(G)dχφ0}.\operatorname{IBr}(\chi^0)=\{\varphi\in\operatorname{IBr}(G)\mid d_{\chi\varphi}\ne0\}.

Conjecture A. One has IBr(χ0)p21|\operatorname{IBr}(\chi^0)|\le p^2-1 and dχφpd_{\chi\varphi}\le p for every φIBr(G)\varphi\in\operatorname{IBr}(G).
