LGP Under the Basket?

Hey, part of the floor is OOB, so since it doesn't have legal position, it can be stationary and still get called for the foul.

I disagree - since part of the floor is OOB - it's just a violation occurring prior to any foul

Ah, but it is only a violation if the floor is OOB for an unauthorized reason. Isn't the floor allowed to be OOB? After all, a player would not have any support on a throw-in otherwise.

I still say as long as it's not moving, it can't be called for a foul.

As long as the reason is authorized, and I think "by design" is an authorized reason, it can't be called for a violation.

Normally I would agree with you, but there were some that were pretty adamant about this position.

Now, perhaps in CA with their numerous earthquakes, this isn't really an issue?

Agreed.

Something wrong with the building code?

If you can't be an athlete, at least be an athletic supporter.

The floor must extend at least 2 inches OOB on all four sides, otherwise you'd have no OOB lines. And with no OOB lines, what would we have to argue about?
