BNR, Yes, I am aware that the college ruling on this play is different. It has even been discussed on this forum in the past. Since JR desired an example, and I know that he doesn't work NCAA ball, I referenced NFHS rules in my previous post. I never claimed that the NCAA rule was the same, however, you have unfortunately claimed that the NFHS ruling is what the NCAA follows. Perhaps your situation is just opposite from JR's and you only officiate at the NCAA level, and thus weren't aware of the HS rule.

Nevadaref,
I work predominantly HS ball with a little JuCo. But I also work a couple Rec leagues that use NCAA rules. I couldn't find anything in this year's NFHS rulebook that referenced the particular situation about a defensive player lying on the floor and the offensive player tripping over him.
