Let's Go To The Videotape ......
(Note: Old citation reference numbers.)
Relevant rules and caseplay:
4-23-3: After the initial legal guarding position is obtained:
a. The guard may have one or both feet on the playing court or be airborne,
provided he/she has inbound status.
b. The guard is not required to continue facing the opponent.
c. The guard may move laterally or obliquely to maintain position, provided it
is not toward the opponent when contact occurs.
d. The guard may raise hands or jump within his/her own vertical plane.
e. The guard may turn or duck to absorb the shock of imminent contact.
It doesn't directly say it, but I'm pretty sure that the guard may back up.
10-3-6-F: A player shall not: Commit an unsporting foul. This includes, but is not limited to, acts
or conduct such as: Faking being fouled …
Confucius says, "There's a difference between being tripped, and tripping".
4-23-1: Every player is entitled to a spot on the playing court provided such player gets there first without illegally contacting an opponent.
10.6.1 SITUATION E: B1 attempts to steal the ball from stationary A1 who is holding the ball. B1 misses the ball and falls to the floor. In dribbling away, A1 contacts B1's leg, loses control of the ball and falls to the floor. RULING: No infraction or foul has occurred and play continues. Unless B1 made an effort to trip or block A1, he/she is entitled to a position on the court even if it is momentarily lying on the floor after falling down.
(Note: In regard to players on the floor, I believe that the college "tripping/tripped" rule is different than the high school rule.)
