On the plays I've seen LGP usually has very lttle to do with it. This is about a defender that picked a spot in the path but the offensive player adjusted, so the defender
throws himself back, screams out, and hits the floor. It has nothing to do with LPG, or protection, it is about trying to trick the official.
If you call the first flop a block guess what, they stop flopping, and what can they say,"I did not touch him." I'll
fire back,"Then why did you hit the floor?"
[/B][/QUOTE]If it's about trying to trick the official,as you say above, then it's unsporting and the rules do allow you to call a T. There is NO rule in any rule book that will allow you to call a block, or personal foul of any type, when physical contact is absent. The very definition of a block, or any personal foul for that matter, says that it is
illegal personal contact. If there is contact, then you are supposed to follow the rules that do apply to that contact, NOT ignore those rules.
