I agree. But that statement/principle does not just apply to guarding. You can find it in other situations as well such as in the definition of rebounding where it can apply to any player, offense or defense. Just because B1 is entitled to a spot doesn't mean he is or has to be guarding someone, right?

I agree.

However, you posted, "IMHO you can throw LGP as well as all of 4-23 out the window in this situation..."

The statement I posted is exactly what makes B1's position in the OP, legal. And it doesn't appear anywhere else in the rule book.

So no, you can't throw all of 4-23 out. :)

A.R.86. B1 is standing directly behind the backboard before A1 jumps for a layup. the forward momentum of airborne shooter A1 causes A1 to displace B1. Ruling..... offensive foul on A1. NCAA case book

I have some very senior officials saying block on B1. Telling me that B1 did not have a LGP. I know this is a player control foul on A1. Can someone help me out with some fodder to convince these guys. I don't think LGP has anything to do with this play. Is 10-6-7 convincing enough?

The ruling which you seek is here: http://forum.officiating.com/basketb...tml#post579291

Give this past thread a read and then consult the NFHS Simplified & Illustrated book for yourself.
