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.

My reaction watching the film full speed was block all the way. D looks to be coming forward. Travel is such a cop out.
