Clearly if B1 had not fallen over backwards, this would have been a foul on A1. The question is whether B1 loses LGP by falling over backwards. Some in this thread have argued that A.R. 23 after 4-33.4a says that any time a player is on the floor, he/she is in an illegal defensive position.
However, looking at 4-33.6, one could argue that B1 has met the requirements to maintain LGP.
[/B][/QUOTE]That's basically what I've been trying to say. The purpose and intent of "guarding" principles and the principle of every player also being able to legally have a position on the court isn't always met by AR23.
