Z,

Again I think you are missing the original point. Just because there is contact, does not mean I am going to call a foul. I was taught when I played to try to fight through screens. If a player just gives up his rightful position because the player is in his way, then he/she was not stopped from doing anything. He/she decided to give up that position on their own and was not put at any disadvantage. Which goes back to the 4-27, Incidental Contact rule. Maybe the word "displacement" does not fit, but I am not calling a foul on a player that jsut touches another player and does not meet all the critria for a screen. Because if we called fouls on screens every time there was contact, we could call a foul on all screens.

Peace
