Darnitall, BM and Snaqs, you stole my thunder.
I just spent the last 20 minutes searching the forum to come up with the reference and then searching my basement (I'm not as cool as MTD, I don't have an attic) to find my 2003-2004 case book. Only to discover that you'd already posted it.
rwest, the job of beating the dead horse beyond recognition is already taken. But I'll keep you in mind for when I finally decide to step down.
It seems from your posts that you are steadfastly missing the big picture. LGP is all well and good, and this case is all about LGP and losing LGP because the guy has a foot on the line. But there is a lot more to calling fouls than LGP.
- A1 goes over B1's back on a rebound. Foul. LGP is not relevant.
- A1 sets a blind screen on B1, and there is contact. Foul. LGP is not relevant.
- A1, who has the ball in the post, hooks B1 as he goes around him. Foul. LGP is not relevant.
- B1 takes a certain spot on the court before A1 jumps in the air to catch a pass. A1 lands on B1. Foul. LGP is not relevant.
- B1 tries to block A1's shot, but whacks him on the arm instead. Foul. LGP is not relevant.
- Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
And finally, B1 is standing with a toe on the sideline, stationary, when A1 runs him over. Foul. On A1. LGP is not relevant. Therefore neither is the now infamous case play that only talks about LGP. Which is not relevant. But it is still a foul. And it's still on A1. And LGP still is not relevant.
