If you can move laterally and maintain LGP, why can't you jump laterally? As long as you're not going forward.

Agree. It only depends on whether the defender maintained a position IN the path the entire time. If so, they can move sideways. Nothing specifies or limits how they are permitted to move sideways.

Play 1 is ridiculous. If I see this at the varsity level and it was an accident I'm just going to blow the play dead and resume with the team having the right to run the endline. If the ball has been passed into play, I'm liable to just not have anything unless these 2 players escalate.

Play 2 is a foul on the ball handler. Everyone has a right to the spot on the floor that they occupy. LGP is NOT the only requirement for contact between a defender and offensive player for a foul to be called on the offense. LGP only has to do with block/charge call determination.

Overthinking? For sure, no argument there.

All good responses and appreciated. All make good sense.

So, if Team A is entitled to run the end line, we are going to allow B1 to kneel down OOB and prevent A1 from running the end line? We are going to call that incidental contact if A1 trips over B1?

Well that is pretty simple. That would be an intentional foul for the contact alone. We might have a delay before if possible and maybe a technical if there was a previous delay recorded. I do not think that situation would apply here in the way it has been discussed.

Peace
