Jumpball6, I agree with Bob that you would treat it as a screen. Be careful Rainmaker, because a player cannot step into an opponent's path without giving that opponent time and distance to avoid contact. Since neither one of these players have the ball time and distance is critical. Obviously, if an opponent had the ball then time and distance would not have to be given by the defender. Now to be in line with the previous responses I would agree that you would want to be careful on this call. Only call if obvious and you really believe the player could have saved the ball. Or call if violent or looks real ugly even if the player could not save the ball.
