Definition = rule 4 Section 7 Art 1 Blocking is illegal personal contact which impedes the progress of an opponent.

Rule 4 Sections 39 Art 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 give's you the different "LEGAL" means to screen a player without causing contact.

There is no Mention of an "illegal Screen" that i can find in the rule book. I was taught that there is "no such thing as an illegal Screen only the contact that results from that screen."

I have heard coaches and fans screaming "ILLEGAL SCREEN"
"ILLEGAL SCREEN" when there is no such thing and no such
mechanic.

Keep the block signal, and use the push signal when the screenie pushes his way through the screen.

Good Luck All,
