Travelling or Block?

[sixer]

I will confess that I didn't recall the AR. But, when I went into the case book, I think, perhaps, we might have 2 different sitches.

If I read the original post correctly, B established LGP on a player with the ball before falling.

A.R. 87 (this year's book) has the B falling before A gets the ball, therefore never establishing LGP on a player with the ball.

I'm sticking with my opinion (even if it's wrong ).

LGP isn't relevant to a stationary player.

Disagree with that.

BBRef,
Not necessarily. However, lying on the floor does not cause contact. He doesn"t need to continue to have a foot on the floor. But, I'd have to see it to make an informed decision. As described above, I can"t definitively say block.

E.G., if the player fell to the floor to his side and then was run tripped over, I would call that a block. But falling straight back (my assumption of the described play), I can't see me calling it a block in either HS or College, and I'd live with the grief and explain as best I could if I had a chance to.

So sixer, you're saying that once he has LGP, he can't lose it, no matter what he does, including lying down on the floor?
