NCAA: Foul on B1.

I think you meant A1 isn't moving. He is the one lying on the floor. Lying still isn't relevant if A1 got to that spot after B1 was airborne.

B1 has to have a place to land. If A1 was on the floor before B1 jumped and A1 didn't move, then you can have a travel. Every player is entitled to a spot on the floor and NHSA says that even a player lying on the floor is LGP. There's a case play that says as much. I don't agree with it, but I don't make the rules. I just enforce them.

Lying on the floor isn't LGP, but it's a legal position on the floor. He's not liable if he ain't moving. If he's moving, he'd better have liability insurance (Padgett sells it).

You're correct, dang it. I'm so used to B1 being the defender I don't always triple check my responses.

And you're right, if A1 gets there after B1 goes airborne, foul on A1.
