NCAA: Block |

We've had a simialr discussion of this type of play before...someone will come along with specific rule citations shortly, but in a nutshell:
NFHS: each player is entitled to a spot on the floor (regardless of player location or whether player is standing/kneeling/laying down. NCAA-M: any player that has not established LGP and causes (by way of contact) the ball handler to trip/fall/loose control of the ball has committed an "automatic" (to use a John Adams term) foul. |

While more positions are not considered legal when it comes to what is or isn't a block (as in laying on the floor), it isn't quite that universal.

I disagree. A player lying in the floor does not have LGP. A player lying on the floor doesn't have both feet touching the floor with his/her torso facing the opponent. Unless you're going to argue while on the floor his feet are touching, but I think that's just being a bit obtuse.
NFHS 4-23 |

By rule, how do you justify the player lying on the floor, and not causing the traveling violation? Are you saying it's case by case, meaning it depends on how the defender got to the floor?

So, lets throw this out there. What if I, as a defender, decide to lay down in the lane as my opponent is posting me up. The post guy receives the pass without the knowledge that his opponent is lying down behind him, and shuffles his feet backwards and falls to the ground....you call a traveling violation?

As far as your scenario where the kid lays down I would assume you would call that an unsporting foul. 4.19 Art. 14...An unsporting foul is a noncontact technical foul which consists of unfair, unethical, dishonorable conduct or any behavior not in accordance with the spirit of fair play. |

Now I'm just being obtuse, but my point is I still believe the player on the floor does not have LGP. FWIW, my Interpreter agrees. |
