I'd like to hear more on this rule. It came up this winter. I read the IABBO Rules real carefully. I don't think that the "screener" who is rolling to the hoop "parallel" to the "dribbler" is in the same "path" as the dribbler? That's the key word. As I read the Rules, it actually isn't a violation until the defender makes contact with the screener and then it's a personal foul on the screener. Am I right or incorrect? Good one. Like to hear from somebody who knows.

I was playing lunch hr. bb. I set screen at top of circle.(pick & roll). I take off straight to the basket. Next i see my teammate dribbling beside me and pass me to the loop. The defender is trailing the dribbler and can't get beside or in front of the dribbler because of me. Keep in mind the def. is not trying to go around me, but through me(up my back). Plus, the def. did get picked off and is trailing. What do you think?
