Yep -NFHS:4-39-2-C "The screener must be stationary, except when both are moving in the same path and same direction."
and further in 4-39-6 "When screening an opponent who is moving in the same path and direction as the screener is moving, the opponent is responsible for contact if the screener slows up or stops."
IMHO it's really a judgement call on our parts, and if we "referee the defense", I think it becomes a lot clearer. If B1 makes a definitive move to get around A1 and A1 reacts causing illegal contact - you've got a whistle and either a block or hold on A1, depending on the nature on the contact. Conversely, if B1 just dances around and never makes a legitimate attempt to get around A1, you've got nada.
