Disagree. It lays the concept out for you.
In the first sentence of the COMMENT it states that screening principles apply to the dribbler.
The last sentence of the COMMENT states
"If both the dribbler and opponent are moving in exactly the same path and same direction, the player behind is responsible for contact which results if the player in front slows down or stops." Iow you have a defender who gained a legal position on the court(without having to establish LGP) in front of the dribbler and in the same path and direction of the dribbler. The defender can now slow down or stop in the dribbler's path, and if the dribbler plows into him, it's on the dribbler.
Pretty clear to me....and it sounds just like what we're discussing.
