Everyone is entitled to a spot

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: Over the back, ON the back RM article

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