NCAA deems this a blocking foul.
A.R. 101. B1 slips to the floor in the free throw lane. A1 (with his/her
back to B1, who is prone) receives a pass, turns and, in his or
her attempt to drive to the basket, trips and falls over B1.
RULING: Foul on B1, who has taken an illegal defensive position.
(Rule 4-35.4.a)


JR has correctly posted the most current NFHS ruling, which as noted has disappeared without comment from the Case Book.
