Flop

[Duffman]

Once a player establishes LgP they don't have to maintain it to take a charge. However a player cannot have LGP while on the floor. If a player falls to the floor with no contact and the airborne shooter lands on him I'm calling a block all day long.

NFHS rules specifically state that every player is entitled to a space on the floor provided they get there legally. However unlikely, if a defender gets to a spot on while on the floor, first and legally, then by rule if a player is to land on him, it wouldn't be a block. This is different than the NCAA rule if I recall correctly.

This is different than the ncaa rule if i recall correctly.

Please read the rules. This demonstrates either a lack of understanding of LGP or simply a miscommunication.

Duff, I would respectfully submit that you would be incorrect all day long making that call!
