Hey BNR, how goes it . I think this is what you are looking for. So far as I can tell, it has remained unchanged for umpteen years. (Apologies to Juulie!!)
RULE 4 SECTION 7 BLOCKING, CHARGING
ART. 1 . . . Blocking is illegal personal contact which impedes the progress of an opponent with or without the ball.
ART. 2 . . .
c. There must be reasonable space between two defensive players or a defensive player and a boundary line to allow the dribbler to continue in his/her path. If there is less than 3 feet of space, the dribbler has the greater responsibility for the contact.
