Not sure I would call anything. The JM player went to where the Indiana player was. I think I would have called nothing. JM player was too much in a hurry to get the ball back where a player fell. It does not look like the Indiana player did anything on purpose.

Isn't there something in the NCAA rule about lying on the floor not being a legal position, no matter what?

If this were NFHS, this would be an intentional foul for contact with the thrower...if you go by the rule as worded and as presented when they changed it. I think both of those outcomes are a result of a poorly thought out rule/interpretation. A block isn't deserved at either level. |
The NCAA rule is clearly talking about playing action. This is not playing action, this is a player trying to make a throw in while running into an already fallen player. If that is the case, then this should only be a technical foul as the contact took place out of bounds with a thrower. That would be a very far-fetched interpretations as none of the contact took place in what the rule actually addresses. I have no problem with the result as the thrower is mostly at fault. If he had of waited or ran to another part of the end line area, he would not have fallen over the Indiana player.
