OK Tony, you lost me on this...what did I miss about getting stepped on being a foul???

From crew's "game plat situation #2"

" In my opinion there are certain situations where players are not entitled to the position they are in. If a player is on the floor with legs and arms spread out and a player falls over him the foul is on the player on the floor."

"As an ex-player and now official myself common sense tells all fans, players, coaches, and officials that a player who makes an athletic play at the rim level and grabs a rebound is entitled to land with his feet firmly on the floor without having to hurdle or dodge a player lying sprawled out on the ground. I would have a foul here."

Therefore, I can only determine that it's a foul to get stepped on.

BTW, I still don't know what the h*ll a "plat" is.
