I think the biggest difference is that screening is a "set" thing and guarding can be a moving thing.

and remember that guarding can involve movement where screeining is mainly a stand.
A[QUOTE=kbilla]re you drawing your difference from the fact that A1 didn't "move" into a guarding position, since he/she was already standing there you have a screen? That might be what he's aiming at. But you also need to remember that even if A1 moved, he might not need to conform to LGP. If they're both going for the rebound (which in the OP they were) they just need to maintain their own legal positions. If one moves into the other, that's the one that fouled.

I'd say if B1 appeared to be trying to stop the dribbler and just didn't get into position in time, then I'd call it a block. But if he was actually guarding someone else, and just happened to be there, of if he turned backward to shield himself from the contact, that's PC.

That's a legitimate thing to do. The aggression will mellow with time.
