Help on Call

[db]

A1 and B2 go for a rebound. In the attempt to get the ball B@ falls to the floor behind A1's legs. A1 possesses the ball while standing, then trips over B2 while holding the ball, falling to the floor while in possession of the ball. What is the correct call by rule? Blocking foul on B@?????

FED: Travel by A1

NCAA: Block by B2

Where is this explained in the rule book?

Rule 4-44-5a.
Case 4.44.5a & b may apply.
That being referenced if I see original player who was on floor roll up on rebounders leg I'll call a block as they encroached on rebounders vertical space. But as I understand from original post there was no such action.
Therefore traveling.

In the NCAA book, it's laid out to be a foul on B2. There used to be a specific NFHS case play on this, but it has been removed from the book. The rationale for not calling a foul under FED rules was that every player was allowed a legal spot on the court, and B2 laying on the floor had established his legal spot.

NFHS rule 4-23-1--"Every player is entitled to a spot on the playing court provided such player gets there first without illegally contacting an opponent."

Glad i'm back on the boards. I forgot there was a difference between NCAA and Fed on this ruling.

Firewall at work shut down access to this site. Usually by the time I get on the computer at home it's late at night and I'm too tired to engage my brain.

I did do a game with Ernest a few weeks ago. I got a nice lecture on bench decorum enforcement after the game from our boss.
