1. Do you believe that's the intent of the rule as it concerns an airborne player?
2. Is that how you've called it in the past?

Yes. yes. Yes.

imo, of course.

I believe I left something out of my question: So we're supposed to judge whether B1 has moved a into or within the path of A1 while A1 is airborne AND if it was within but not into A1's path call the play a PC foul?

I was already assuming that part, at least mostly. It could be a no call. It can't (or shouldn't) be a block.

Judging it in practice (where exactly is A1 going and would contact have been made if B1 was "frozen" at the time A1 left the ground (NCAAW) or gathered (NCAAM)?) is more difficult than discussing it in theory, though (especially since the path can change after the gather in NCAAM -- the path is set once a player is in the air as in NCAAW).

Yes to all of the Q's.

If B1 was legally A1's path before and was still in A1's path as A1 became airborne, then B1 has LGP. It is a PC regardless of whether B1 moves a little more or not. B1 has met the requirements of LGP.

I said it first. Camron said it better.
