You say the defender was bumped.
Nay, not so. In the given sitch, the bent over player did not move and has a right to be there, not moving.
[/B][/QUOTE]Agree. There's no rule that says that the player can't stand like that. There's never a foul without contact wither. If contact does occur however, I agree with Chuck that the onus should be on the screener if that contact is on the extended butt. That's basically no different than contact with the extended arm or leg of a screener.
