A1 takes a shot. B1 is standing in the lane just under the basket. On the miss, A2 roars over the free throw line and goes up for a massive rebound/dunk. After A2 leaves the floor (Just beyond the charity stripe), B1 takes a couple of steps backwards to get into position to rebound. This causes A2 to make contact with B1 as he attempts the dunk (which is missed -due to the contact?)
A block is called on B1. Needless to say, B's coach goes nuts claiming it should have "over the back" on A2 since he did not go staight up and down. A bang-bang play...
Curious on what you think???????

Great athleticism there! However, if B1 was in legal position to rebound, even if he moves a bit to "go get the ball" after the miss (I say either at a forward, forward-left, forward-right, or straight up angle), I've got pushing on A2 for "over the back". IF, however, B1 does NOT go straight up (let's say he jumps to the back-left, the back-right, or at a backward incline or angle) and fouls A2 during the attempted dunk, I've got either an illegal use of hands ("a hack"), a push, or a blocking foul on B1 depending on how it looks.
Whoever said this job was easy????
