Saw a game today and had this question.
If there is rebounding action and the offensive player falls to the floor trying to get a rebound but a defensive player grabs the rebound, what do you have if the ball handler trips over the player lying on the floor and loses the ball? Is your answer different if the player is just lying there versus actively trying to get up? Sorry if this has been discussed before but I don't remember this being addressed in the case books. |
As long as the player doesn't extend his arms or legs into the path of the rebounder, he's entitled to his spot on the floor.

Second part depends on "how actively". mick |

I didn't say he had LGP. But he's entitled to his spot, if he got there without illegally contacting an opponent. Now, if he raises, moves or sticks his leg out in the rebounders's path and creates contact, he's fouled.

The rules agree with Tony too. See casebook play 10-6-1SitE-- <i>"No infraction or foul has occured and play continues. Unless B1 has made an attempt to trip or block A1 , he/she is entitled to a position on the court <b>even if it is momentarily lying on the floor after falling down</b>"</i>. |

http://www.ncaa.com/champadmin/baske...10bulletin.pdf It's kinda long but jump to page 8, play #3: . BR-72, Rule 4-33, Guarding. B1 slips to the floor in the free-throw lane. A1 (with his or her back to prone B1) receives a pass, turns and, in his or her attempt to drive to the basket, trips and falls over B1. RULING: Foul on B1, who has taken an illegal defensive position (NCAA memorandum January 23, 1996, page 3). |
Darn, Dan beat me to it. Tweet! Block.

- where in the case play posted here does it say "B1 was under the basket"? |

LGP only gives the defender added protection when contact happens. It is not the be all/end all in a block, charge situation. |
Darn it! Dan beat me to it again. The play is specifically addressed in Hank Nichols' first bulletin of the season. Dan already pasted the whole case play, but I'll do it again.
