Isn't once enough Peter?
First, I'm not saying that mick was wrong. He was there, not me. But as Cameron stated, the foot would have to be considered extended. My guess is that if the foot was tripped over, it was extended. It's rare that a player would trip over an opponent if the foot was not extended, such as one a legal vertical position is established. If B1 extends the foot, he is not considered to have a legal guarded position.
Let's substitute an arm for the foot. If B1 has his arm extended horizontally from his side, and A1 gets whacked arcoss the head when he dribbles by, do you have a foul on B1? I do.
The foot is no different. There are rules to address each situation.
