Mark, for all your yapping, 4 consecutive replies, you have yet to describe a situation where a defender sets a screen. Instead, you keep describing plays where the defender commits a blocking foul. That's my point! A blocking foul is not a screen. Please describe a play where the defender is legally screening.

We're still waiting.

Tony:

Go back to my example. If B4 gives time and distance to A1, then B4 has set a legal screen. R4-S39 defines what a screen is supposed to do. If B4 sets a legal screen then we do not have a blocking foul. A player sets a screen, either the player has set the screen legally or he has not. If the player has not set the screen legally and contact occurs then the player has committed a blocking foul.

I do not understand why people are having a problem with the fact that defenders can set screens.
