NFHS 4-18: Fighting is a flagrant act and can occur when the ball is dead or live. Fighting includes, but is not limited to combative acts such as: An attempt to strike, punch or kick by using a fist, hands, arms, legs or feet regardless of whether contact is made.

Attempted, but failed, tripping may not quite be the same as attempted, but failed, punching, or attempted, but failed, kicking, but it's worth discussing.

Of course if attempted, but failed, tripping leads to a fight, that may be another permutation of this issue.
