When you cut in front of someone without taking time, speed and distance into consideration and are the cause of the accident, you are at fault not the guy behind. If your car is ahead of someone by 10 feet, you do not get the right to change lanes and at the same time slow down so the car behind you runs into you and then claim "Oh Johnny was behind me so he is at fault". Well, you can claim it all you want but it won't hold up. Otherwise, could not see any problem or difference with a person who turns left into the lane of incoming traffic that is going 55 and immediately get hit and says he was behind me so it's his fault. I believe the concept of driver behind is at fault has its limitations.
Same principle applies here in basketball imho. If Johnny and Sammy are running down the court parallel to each other and Johnny is a half a body length ahead of him or one step, he does not get the right to cut in front of him and get a defensive foul. Wrong call. Period. End of convo.
