On The Floor Is The Appropriate Description Here ...

White 15 is in a prone position on the floor after falling. Before he attempts to stand up, without moving his arms, or legs, or without attempting to roll over, Red 22 contacts the prone White 15, and Red 22 trips, and falls to the floor. Note that I said he trips, not that White 15 tripped him.

NFHS rules. What's the call?

Is the interpretation any different in NCAA rules? I know that this has been discussed on the Forum before, but I wanted a fresh look at the play. I discussed this with a highly regarded colleague last night who works both high school, and college games. He usually does a great job at differentiating the two rule sets, but I thought that there were differing interpretations for this play depending on which rule set in being used.

Comments? Citations?
