What would you say to B1 if he commented to you that he didn't like it?
DO you draw the line at TO's and half-time? If B1 is trying to talk to a teammate, and A1 is hovering, you wouldn't back A1 off?
So far I'm just asking where you draw the line. But I'm also thinking...
This wouldn't be legal on the street, it would be stalking. Why is it okay on the bball court?

I'm neither JR nor JR, and I've been pretty much an interested spectator for this thread. But, I have some thoughts.
First, I wouldn't back A1 off if B1 is talking to a teammate. All B1 has to do is turn around and his back is then to A1, and if B2 is standing there, A1 can't get right back in front of him without fouling.
As for where the line is, it's certainly beyond that for me.
And, the "legal on the street" issue definitely doesn't apply. If I go down the street setting screens and boxing people out, that's not going to be legal, either.
