Re: Player on floor legal guarding position

[jdmara]

We had a situation a few weeks ago in a boy's JV game. After reading the thread on LGP while on the floor I'm not sure we got it correct (anymore).

A1 is bringing the ball up-court in transition being guarded by B1. A2 (slipped I believe [I don't really recall how he got there]) and was laying on the floor in a prone position. A1 dribbles across the court and B1 is screened accidentally by A2.

My partner called a team control foul on A2 (which I 100% agreed with at the time). Is it possibly legal to screen someone legally while you're in a prone position on the floor?
