The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
A-1 attempts a jump shot which is unsuccessful. A-5 jumps and secures the rebound while in the air. A-5’s momentum carries him forward and A-5 lands on B-5 who did not jump and who was at his spot on the floor before A-5 jumped.
Handle the situation.
A-5 has committed a player control foul. B-5 legally obtained his position on the floor before A-5 jumped. As such he is entitled to that position. A-5 gained control of the ball while airborne. When A-5 landed on B-5 and displaced him, A-5 committed a common foul. Since A-5 was in control of the ball, this would be a player control foul.

It is amazing we don’t see this more often but I guess most rebounding action players are going up & down not flying forward or backward. Rem
