2 situations to discuss:
#1- Man to man pressure so coach has everyone clearout. A1 is able to beat B1 til just past midcourt when B1 catches A1 and is about to pass him. A1 intentionally changes his course and gets into B1's path. B1 is making an effort to avoid contact but A1 (who has maintained his dribble) continues to initiate contact. He's clearly hoping to draw the foul. The book talks about the player from behind is responsible for the contact but I don't know that this is what they are describing. Please explain your call or no-call.
#2- A1 has a breakaway layup with B1 just off his shoulder. Right before A1 gets to the rim he slows just a bit and then jumps into B1's path clearly hoping to draw contact. By defination, B1 never obtained LGP but he also did not initiate the contact. Please explain your call or no-call.

Case book play 10.6.2SitB-COMMENT--"Screening principles apply to the dribbler who attempts to cut off an opponent who is approaching in a different path from the rear. In this case, the dribbler must allow such an opponent a maximum of two steps or an opportunity to stop or avoid contact. When both the dribbler and opponent are moving in in exactly the same path and same direction, the player behind is responsible for contact which results if the player in front slows down or stops".
1) If A1 jumped into B1's path, he has to give B1 time and distance as per the case book play.
2) Same as #1.
