...and in the path. But exactly what has to be in the path? That is the question. It seems to differ in the FIBA realm vs what is common in the US.

I would not have considered either of those players to have been in the path of the airborne player before the player became airborne. Yes their feet were down, but they hadn't yet occupied the path....there was a clear line in front of the airborne player at the time he jumped.

I may have not called a block, but I don't think they were in position by US standards.
