Closely Guarded And Screener ...

What if a screen is involved? I remember a controversial (aren't they all?) IAABO Refresher Exam question several years ago that indicated that the count should be stopped if a screen is involved, and the defender goes behind the screen, even if the defender(s) stay within six feet. Many of our high school officials, including me, disagreed with the IAABO answer sheet. The controversy may have been caused by differences between NFHS and NCAA closely guarded rules when a screen is involved. Anybody remember this, or wish to comment?
Update: I found some old threads (below) regarding five seconds and screening. Old news to crusty Forum veterans, but Forum "newbies" may want to give the threads a quick peek:
Five Second Count Screen
