Why would you have a block under NCAA/NFHS?

I have a charge at all levels.

I think PG loses LGP when LeBron changes his path. I do not think PG re-establishes LGP before contact.

Under the NBA LGP rules all that is required is PG getting to the spot first legally (which he does), whereas the NCAA/NFHS rule sets require two feet to be down (which he does not have IMO).

Yeah. Either get the first foul, the biggest foul, or the last foul I guess. And I think LeBron's various actions throughout the play fit all three.

I think we'll differ on that one. I see George establishing LGP with two feet on the floor facing James right before James dribbles the ball.

How so?

Both calls look correct to me.

Oh I agree that PG has initial LGP before LeBron starts the dribble, I just think PG loses LGP when he is no longer directly in LeBron's path and his "sliding in" to the path after that is not legal.

Well you can't have LGP without guarding and you can't guard someone without being in their path.

....

PG had 2 feet down and directly in LBJ's path to establish LGP. Then PG moved to maintain LGP and got hit squarely in his chest.

Both great calls and relatively easy as well.

I thought the superstar got all the calls?

Peace

Isn't Stephenson the superstar?
