Your call?
 

Player A1 dribbling down the floor.

Player B1 (defense) running down the floor.

A1 dribbles into the path of B1 and both bodies hit the floor.

What do you have?

*ETA: Weird....the board software isn't allowing me to post the above in all caps...

you can't picture it with the info I gave you?

The classic answer; A girls JV game. :D

Your sitch sounds like A1 was at the spot before B1. From what I am reading, I would likely have a "push" foul on B1.

A1 needs to give B1 time and distance before setting a screen. I used to get away with this a lot as a point guard.

When a dribbler in his/her progress is moving in a straight-line path, he/she may not be crowded out of that path. An opponent must obtain a legal defensive position in that path to put the responsibility of contact onto the dribbler.

Let me guess. The coach wanted an over-the-back reaching foul. :rolleyes:

If B1 established his path and A1 altered to get in the way and draw contact, time and distance are relevant.

I guess fiasco is right, HTBT.

We have both possibilities covered. So, Johnny Ringo, how did it occur?

Think of it like this:

(Case 1) A1 dribbling the ball straight down the floor.

B1 (defense) running 2-3 fet to the left side of A1.

A1 gets to the division line and creates a path that is angled to the basket and collides with B1 who continued on a straight line?

(Case 2) Or A1 dribbles into the path or body of B1, who is still running in a straight path?

I assume most will always have a foul on B1 in case (1) and possibly want to call offensive foul on A1 in case (2)

LOL you saw my game last night

Contact caused by a defensive player who approaches from behind is pushing.

+1 I'm having a really, really hard time buying this as a screen.

Lets try this: What do you have if the dribbler - dribbles into the defensive player while the defensive player and the dribbler are at close to or full speed at mid-court? Both bodies hit the floor.
