If you go back to the original post. The defender tripped (I assume on his own feet) and then the dribbler tripped on the defender. I'm assuming all of this happened quickly and that the dribbler did not have time to avoid the player on the floor. Call the foul, nobody is going to complain.

I don't make calls based who will or won't complain.
Jay, I think you work mostly NCAA rules, correct?
In NCAA, you'd be correct. It's specifically addressed.
But not so in NFHS.
