I see two feet down and in the path establishing her LGP. I don't think she gets a chance to move her torso forward before she's contacted.

Another point that supports a conclusion opposite the conclusion you made.

Getting two feet down in such a movement pretty much guarantees that the torso is still going to be moving forward to come up over the feet before they can get stopped.

Except in this case I cannot see any forward movement by her torso so no I don't think it supports that at all. I'm saying she didn't have the chance to even start moving her torso forward before being contacted.

If her torso wasn't moving forward, she would be falling backwards. The movement you suggest isn't possible. You can't jump forward with your feet without your torso following.

I just watched the video again. Her torso is not moving forward at contact. It actually looks like she's starting to fall backwards when she's contacted.

At any rate I do not have her moving into the dribbler.

.

That is only because the opponents torso was there to prevent her from going forward anymore.

Bring versatility in to the discussion here. Can a player be in a legal position with their feet not below their torso?

I don't agree but I'm not going to belabor the point any more. We simply see this play differently.

The fact that the contact is to her torso makes this close enough for me on her verticality. If she had contacted an outstretched leg first then I think this could be a consideration.

Put me in the PC group, but I don't think you would catch a lot of flak for a block here either.

Definitely not a travel.
