So if the offensive player trips over the defensive players foot, the offensive player initiated the contact so foul is on him. On the other hand, if the defensive player makes contact with the body of offensive player to upset his balance or displace him, then it's a foul on defense.
Have I got this right? |
As I said, if there is no displacement and there is no contact where players put their feet is irrelevant. It is only an issue when the contact takes place that displaces or prevents the movement of their opponent. And in your description I would be more concerned with where the knee is to maintain that position as opposed to just where the feet are located.
