I don't care who said it, this is bogus.

I think Kelvin's thoughts here are right on, and I was trying to figure out how to say it before. On a flop, my threshold for advantage is going to drop significantly due to safety concerns (sort of like protecting the shooter), so it won't take much contact at all in order to draw a blocking foul.

And if you call a blocking foul for illegal contact, you never had a flop in the first place. You had a personal foul for illegal contact.

They're completely separate acts and are treated and penalized as such under NFHS rules.

Just want to make sure that everyone is aware of that.....
