This is similar to a discussion we had on another thread. Screening is an offensive maneuver, guarding is a defensive maneuver. It is assumed that the offense can dictate where they go, but the defender's path is dictated by where the offense goes. So the restriction on time and distance for screening reflects the fact that the defender has less choice than the offensive player regarding the path she travels.

Hawks Coach:
You are second sentence is only fifty percent correct. Yes, guarding is a defensive maneuver, but screening is a maneuver that can be applied by either an offensive player or a defensive player.
