I agree also. That's two great minds and a not-so-great one.

B2 may not have a LGP, but that doesn't mean that B2 isn't in a legal position. Under FED rules, there is no justification that I know of for calling a foul on B2 for blocking when B2 has attained a legal position on the court, even if that legal position is lying down.

Very well worded...I see what you are saying using the rebounder running into the back of an opponent. Make perfect sense now...Let em play!:D

Thanks!
