Indiana HS Officials...need your help!!

Nate,

The quote from Nevadaref regarding incidental contact is taken from the first sentence of 4-27 (NFHS) verbatim. Now, whether the contact was incidental or not is another story.

Yes, it was. That is not what is in question. What is in question is incidental/accidental contact. See the described play and decided for yourself whether you would rule it incidental contact.

Nate, you are the one that said it was incidental contact. You wrote that in post #15. I merely told you that the rules say incidental contact isn't a foul.

You never used the word accidental prior to post #40.

BTW if you wish to discuss accidental contact, what criteria do you use to decide when to call a foul and when not to on that type of contact?

What would you call on this play:
B1 falls to the floor at the FT line. A1 is dribbling the ball and doesn't see B1. A1 trips over B1, falls to the floor, and loses the ball. B2 gets the ball.

Nevada, what is the answer?

FED: Play on. B is entitled to the position on the floor.

NCAA: Block on B.

Appreciate all your comments & emails to old Coach T! From a very good source, speculation is...he has gotten over 1000 emails from coaches, officials, & fans from across the country. In fact, he posted an apology recently...

Is the FED answer correct? Would both FED & NCAA be blocking? I understand B is entitled to the position on the floor, but is he in a legal guarding position? If I have this play in my HS game, I'm probably calling the block and telling the coach if asked, the player never established LGP.
