A split second later, offensive player Red 22 drives to the basket, tripping over White 33's head, while his head was prone on the floor. Official charges a blocking foul on White 33. Is the official correct?

Billy:
No, the official is not correct per NFHS Rules (even though the NCAA would have one believe differently).
