Does he need to give him time and space? One step? Two steps?
Screening principles also apply to a dribbler. If moving defender B1 has established a straight-line path, then dribbler A1 does have to give time/distance if he jumps into B1's path. The rules say one or two strides, so plan on teaching two to make sure.
