Why?

Whatinthehell do you expect from the peanut gallery? And if it's coming from the peanut gallery, why should you give a damn anyway?

Consider the source and just ignore. It's all just meaningless rhetoric anyway, as you previously said.

My opinion: The "entitled to any spot on the floor" and the related "dives for the ball and A trips over the prone player" rules / cases are for instances where basketball plays are being made.

Dropping to the hands and knees in the situation described is not a baketball play.

I'd penalize as Camron suggests in post #14.
