To be exact the POE for NFHS was on the offenive team...The defense was last year and we had that exact situation come up at the rules interp and what I said is exactley how Indiana is calling it...

If Indiana ia calling the rule that way, then Indiana is not calling the rule correctly. The POE specifically states that "Players must play the game within the confines of the playing court....The same principle is in place for ALL players". R10-3-1 also says that a player can't leave the court for an unauthorized reason. Going OOB to avoid a screen is an unauthorized reason.

The purpose behind this interpretation is that B was able to get around the screen by going OOB rather than stopping. That illegally recovers some of the disadvantage that the screen naturally caused. In other words, the defender went OOB to lessen the impact of the screen not because of the screen.
