I absolutely disagree. While the player has LGP to start with, when contact is on the extended leg, LGP is lost...by definition.

"extends" is not a active movement, it is a status. If what you said were actually true, a player could also extend his/her arms out to the side and occupy 10+ feet of width without risk of committing a foul.

Well either way, if you make contact with legs that are extended (stationary or moving) then I have a foul all day. If you make contact with the torso and not contact with the legs, I have whatever the play would have been ruled based on LGP and positioning as any other contact play.

Peace

Agree.

If defender B1 is standing motionless in a "normal" stance (feet about shoulder width apart), and if dribbler A1 dribbles too close to B1 and "trips" over B1's foot, it's not a blocking foul on B1.

If defender B1 is standing motionless in an "extra wide" stance (legs and feet extended) , and if dribbler A1 dribbles too close to B1 and "trips" over B1's foot, it's a blocking foul on B1.

There's a difference between being tripped, and tripping.

Well stated.
