Travel, block, or nada?

LGP has to do with block charge calls. HS and NCAA treat players on the floor differently. Essentially every player is entitled to their space on court.

A trip is a deliberate act that in this scenario would be an intentional foul.

Block in NCAAW (assuming A1 was affected by B2).

B2 is legal in FED, so the pivot foot actions determine travel or not.

It's a block in NCAA-Men's. I have nothing in NFHS because I thought every player is entitled to their spot on the floor.

2004-05 Casebook: 10.6.1 SITUATION E: B1 attempts to steal the ball from stationary A1 who is holding the ball. B1 misses the ball and falls to the floor. In dribbling away, A1 contacts B1's leg, loses control of the ball and falls to the floor. RULING: No infraction or foul has occurred and play continues. Unless B1 made an effort to trip or block A1, he/she is entitled to a position on the court even if it is momentarily lying on the floor after falling down.
