Actually, I was looking for this particular statement to be verified by a referee. I thought that all who were saying this were coaches. I must have missed something. Thanks for your response.

Jim, from a further post of mine on P.2,-
"Finally, just as you said, I look at the screener to see if they roll into the defender. If so, and the contact gives them an advantage- illegal block". That statement applies for both cases - initial contact on the screen, and further contact after legal initial contact.
Just as an aside, Hawks Coach has a very good understanding of the rules and how they are applied, as do other coaches who post here also.
