I'm just talking about the rules. I understand sometimes those don't apply in college basketball, but still.

Can you show me the rule (at any level) that shows a player on the floor is in LGP? Better yet, how was LGP established in this case?

I'm arguing neither of your points.

Then what are you debating? I do not understand how a foul should be called based on what I know of the play?

You asked me to demonstrate how LGP was established when I'm the one who said that it wasn't established. What's with the runaround?

In order to have a foul, I would think the player on the floor at some point would have to establish a legal position. If there is no such action that took place before the contact, then there is no rules basis to call a foul on a player falling down, unless there is an interpretation that supports such action. Now you are the one that accused the officials of not following the rules. I am just asking you to show something other than your opinion that the rule was clearly violated. Remember, you said this was rather clear.

What?

To have a foul on the defense, they are required to have established LGP?

Are you listening to yourself?

The NFHS used to have just such a case play, but it was removed without comment a few years ago.

Is it still in force? That is a matter of opinion.

I saw what you said and even remember the play mentioned. From what I understand anytime something is removed, the ruling has likely changed or does not fit the current interpretations. This was also an NCAA game, so what the NF might say on this might not apply. I am just trying to understand what rule says this would be only a foul on the player that fell on top of another player as stated in this situation.

Let me take it a step further, I also do not think the rules were intended or it makes good common sense to call a foul on anyone in this specific situation. But that is after all an opinion. I am sure some might disagree. I just would like a rule to back that up before I am able to make that leap.
