If the situation is as you describe, the defense should not have been afforded a space between the offense. At least that's my understanding of the rules. Also, if the offense lines up in a vertical (perpendicular to the baseline) stack, the defense is not necessarily entitled to a space between the offense either, assuming the offense was there first. Oh, one last thing. I used to use that same play when I was coaching also. Why wouldn't the defense slip a defender through the "screen" when one of the offensive players stepped back?
