Rebounder Steps on Player Below, Then....
I don't think this slightly different play differs much from the previous thread which considered the rebounder who, after landing on the floor, trips over the opponent lying on the floor and commits a travel violation. But just wanted to throw it by you guys to see. Local debate raging currently on this sitch . . .
B2, for whatever reason (nothing illegal about how he got there or what he is doing there), is lying on the floor under the basket. A1, having gained player control on the rebound, lands with one foot on B2. Loosing his balance, A1, still with player control of the ball, falls to the floor before establishing a pivot foot.
I'm applying the Fed principles of the aforementioned thread and determining that a travel violation has occurred. Others in our area are adamant that they're calling a blocking foul on B2.
Anything you can say one way or the other?
