Calling the flop

B1 is in LGP. In anticipation of contact with dribbler A1, B1 begins a flop (not protecting, flopping). As B1 is on his/her way to the floor, A1 finally makes contact with B1 and trips over the almost prone defender (remember, B1 is not on the floor yet). From what I am hearing, the concensus is foul on A1 for charging into A1, who is still in a LGP.

Well, I don't know where you got a consensus from but I don't have a foul on A1. It's not a foul to trip over another player.



You're overthinking, my friend. Don't call a rule book foul. Call what your head and your gut tells you to call.
