If you have never seen this before, the aftermath generally is two players on the floor. Where the defender DID NOT maintain his legal guarding position by falling before contact and causing the offensive player to trip and fall with him.
Better put----the contact received would not be enough to knock over a 20 lb toddler, let alone a 6'2" 200 lb man.

Explain how he did not maintain a legal guarding position. He went backwards, right, to avoid contact? That's legal.

Flopping to attempt to draw a player control foul has already been explained in this thread. Being a p#%&y doesn't mean the player receives a blocking foul.

He fell before contact, but this caused the offensive player to trip and fall? What, exactly, did the offensive player trip over?
