So if youre going to accuse Bob of joining the dark side at least get your accusation right Otherwise it makes those of us who are card carrying members or those who dabble with those evil forces look bad. After all the Dark side does have some sort of reputation it needs to uphold.

Besides at least in my dark side chapter we would never call this PC. I think official ruling 9.01-765 from the from local chapter's Dark side manual reads. "whenever a player who had legal guarding position does not have enough fortitude to take the charge flops, and this flop like a dead fish then subsequently causes contact with the offensive player, this is ruled a block if in the opinion of he official that the player should be penalized for being stupid, otherwise this is a no call."

Just because the defender is standing under the basket does not mean you cannot have a player control foul under NFHS rules.
