a fall and a trip

Really? Isn't it LGP that grants a defender the privilege of moving at the time of contact?

Camron, please don't take my comments out of context and twist them for your own means. I wrote three statements, not one.

A player is entitled to a spot on the playing court provided such player gets there first without illegally contacting an opponent. Whether he's lying on the floor or standing with his back to the dribbler, the same restrictions exist on his movement and his position, based on this rule.

That has nothing to do with LGP, nor did my last two statements have anything to do with LGP.

If you want to tell us about LGP, then by all means, knock yourself out.

Wow??? Did someone get out of bed on the wrong side today or what! I took NOTHING out of context...I quoted the entire post.

The fact is that the movement that the movement of a player on the floor is more limited than a player on their feet since a player laying on the floor can't have LGP.

Your IM to me was as juvenile as I've seen in a long time.

Yeah, ya did. The red sentence is part of his explanation as to why LGP is NOT relevant in this case. You took the sentence and reversed the context.

When I read it, that is not how it came across. Maybe he meant it to say that but that is not they way it seemed. I suppose it was ambiguous and could have been read either way. But if I read it that way, I'm sure that someone else did too.
