Peace

LOL So giving ground means something like to back away? I didn't know that was what it meant. Sorry to ask that question.

What is the definition of displacement?

Displace: "To move or shift from the usual place or position."

So in order to have a foul for displacement of some kind, you have to move a person with contact to another position or place. Giving ground basically means you are moving with the person and allowing them to go where they want to. I am not mad you asked the question, just trying to explain to you what this means.

Peace
