While I am in complete agreement with the overall philosophical tone of your post, the above excerpt has me wondering. Is this situation a block if the feet aren't planted?????

Crusading for universal understanding and proper application of 4-23!!

I am hoping that NCAAREF knows that his feet doesn't have to be planted or touching the floor to "maintain" LGP.

As far as your crusade, good luck..

Or that they don't even have to be "planted" to establish LGP.

"Referee the defense" means you and your partner should only make foul calls against the defense and let the coaches make the violation and foul calls against the other team's offense.

At least, that's what they think they are supposed to do.

No, but both feet must be touching the playing court to establish or "obtain" legal guarding position (1 of 2 requirements to obtain LGP).

Yes, but this requirement doesn't mean the same thing most fans/coaches think of when they hear "planted." "Planted" implies being stationary, while a player can be moving quite quickly and have both feet on the floor at the same time while facing his opponent.
