This was asked and answered by several of us. Screen, contact, pivot before defender starts moving, seal defender (slight contact ok, no displacement) - legal. Pivot with no contact - clearly can't be a foul. Pivot into path of a defender who has changed directions or made contact and subsequently started to cut around screen - foul. Pivot into defender with displacement - foul. Pivot before contact, thus taking away defender's line of motion, subseqquent contact by defender - foul.

jrut further added that slight contact on any of these where the defender appears to quit on the play - no foul. Defense has to be trying to go somewhere with offense obstructing them to get the foul. These are about all the variations I can think of on this, but I am sure there are more. What more are you looking for here?

Agree with the Coach's summary. Please note that the same principles outlined above also apply to players blocking an opponent out on a rebound.
