In NFHS there is a casebook play which states that it is not a foul to be lying on the floor and be tripped over. I was stunned to see the NCAA ruling that was posted in this thread. I would not call a blocking foul on someone lying on the floor. Also, if the player who rebounded the ball and fell on top of another player, who was already on the floor, never touches the floor with anything but a hand or foot, I don't even have a traveling violation. Just play on.
