Again, LGP does
not have to be a factor in making this type of call.
If a player jumps forward to grab a rebound, would you call a foul on
him if an opponent moved
under him from the side
after the player had left his feet? There's no LGP involved in this play, is there?
If a dribbler and a defender are running down the floor in established straight-line paths side-by-each, can the dribbler veer to the side and force the defender out of his straight-line path legally because the defender didn't have LGP?
The same concept in both case is used to make the call.
