I think the answers to these questions are the crux of the discussion:
When is a screener no longer a screener?
Does a cutter have to give time and distance?
Assuming there is no displacement or holding by the screener:
If both players are moving with A2 cutting to the basket when B1 makes contact trying to get around A2 does A2 have to let B1 through? If so why?
A2 cuts to the basket and makes contact with B1 would this be a foul? If so, why?
If B1 and B2 switch and A2 rolls to the basket and B1 cant get around A2 is that a foul? If so, why?
