Travelling or Block?

Came up in recent rules meeting . . . happened tonight. Which rule prevails?

A1 comes down with rebound. B2 behind him stumbles to the floor. A1 turns to begin dribble and trips over B2.

Travelling violation on A1?

. . . or . . .

Blocking foul on B2 who, without both feet on the floor, lacks a "legal guarding position"?

I'm not so much interested in "What would you call?", rather "What is the rule?"

NFHS - B1 doesn't have to have a legal guarding position. Every player is entitled to a space on the floor, as long as he obtains it legally. He obtained his space on the floor legally, without contacting another player. I can't tell you if A1 traveled or not. You said he started a dribble, so who knows?

NCAA - Blocking foul.

BBRef,
I'm curious as to why you think this is a block in NCAA. IMO, guard obtained LGP, and nothing in the subsequent movement was illegal. What am I missing?

Long story short: Even though the NFHS and NCAA rules are, word for word, the same. An NCAA Approved Ruling (and a stupid ruling, in my humble opinion, than cannot be supported by rule) states that this is a block. Go figure.

I would love to see anyone, in real time, call this as anything but a foul on the B player.

You wwill not ever see me call a foul on B2 in an NFHS game and I would be hard pressed to call a foul on B2 in an NCAA game.

P.S. Under NFHS rules why would you ever call a foul on B2 is this case?
