I believe I have one correction, jjb. If you solely look at article 2 you could be misled that B players cannot block in the back.

B can definitely block in the back even outside the FBZ (unless I'm reading rule 9 incorrectly). If I'm misled someone please help me understand why.

Rule 9, Section 3 (Illegal Blocking), Article 5 (bullet b)

A player shall not clip or block an opponent in the back except:

b. Using hands and arms to contact an opponent above the waist in warding off a blocker, or when attempting to reach a runner, or catch or recorver a loose ball which he may legally touch or possess.


Again, if I'm misunderstanding this please let me know.

Thanks
