What's the difference? And what's the signal for trip?

I primarily use the blocking mechanic for both.

I believe NCAA has a tripping signal (and NFHS should as well).

They do and I agree.

Block. Whether the guard had LGP or not (he didn't) it is still a block because the contact was with a leg that was extended beyond the defenders frame....and it caused the dribbler to fall.

Block, although if the offensive player had kept his footing, I go no call on it. Nice delayed whistle on this one.

There was no whistle on this play.

I meant for me, I would have had a nice delayed whistle (at least that's how I picture myself doing it)

My thoughts as well. Block.

The C is standing there flat footed...never moves to get an angle on the play. No way he can even see what happens there. And then he stands there shaking his head from side to side...all he had to do was take one step up or down and he would have been able to make the call. Have to fight for an angle on plays all the time.

I'll have to disagree with this. The C is in perfect position to referee this play. Only "Move to Improve". C's position has nothing do with him not having a whistle on the play. I'll bet in hindsight that if he had a chance to call it again he would.

If there is one type of play that John Adams preaches and preaches should be a Freedom of Movement foul this play is it.
