If B1 is already on the floor 3/4 steps away from the dribbler with the dribbler facing him, and the dribbler just keeps on a-motoring and subsequently falls over B1, then it's still B1's foul? Time/distance never has any bearing on this call? Do you think that is the pupose/intent of that NCAA AR? [/B][/QUOTE]

hmmmm...getting into uncharted waters here but I believe you need to give the dribbler the benefit of the doubt on your play and make your call/no call assuming the dribbler didn't see the defender on the floor.

Again, if the defender's on the floor what does the dribbler gain by tripping over him?
