>>Aggie is right and the rule book is wrong. Yup, you heard it right,folks. All of those people that sit around the table as members of the NFHS rules committee are wrong!. They're wrong because Aggie says they're wrong!<<
Hmm. No argument, just a weak attempt at an ad-hominem. The interpretation is wrong because 1)it is inconsistent with other rules and 2) it ignores that basketball is not a game where laying on the floor is to be given precedence over being on one's own two feet. If, in the same play, the ball carrier trips over the feet of a standing player, it is likely a foul, depending on relative time and distance requirements and where his feet are. If you've actually worked games, can you tell me you've NEVER called such a play a blocking foul on the defender?
Argue that instead of making immature and idiotic comments. And don't assume that the rule writers are perfect. There could be political reasons for that interpretation.
