Yeah, in any case B2 is still stoopid, A1's still got another one on him & we're still going the other way, hand behind our head.

Another angle ~
 

This play happened to me twice in my career, both times in the same game. First round of the class C girls’ tournament in the late 80's or early 90's.

A1 is a talented 5'6" point guard and B1 is a 6' post player, B is in a zone defense. The play occurs on the baseline. A1 has not dribbled, gives a pump fake, and B1 turns to box her out anticipating a rebound. A1 puts the ball to the floor and climbs the back of B1 in an attempt to shoot a lay-up.

What's the call?

You made a call? :)

Not one that Coach A was too happy with :D

Entitled to a spot on the floor . . .
 

The requirement for legal guarding position applies to a player who is guarding a player with the ball. And a player with the ball gets nothing, no time, no space. Taken together, think about the extreme case. B1 is standing in the lane with his back to the dribbler, A1, who is above the key. A1 smacks into B1. It's a player control foul. In the dicier example sited in this thread, if B1 is not guarding A1, and if B1 is motionless at the moment of impact, B1 has not attempted to become a 'guarder of A1' and the foul is on A1.

This is one of the toughest calls to see happen - you have to be way ahead of the play!
