What about NFHS 4-40-4? "When screening a stationary opponent from behind (outside the visual field), the screener must allow the opponent one normal step backward without contact."
The opponent in the video was not allowed one normal step on the blind screen. Therefore, I think the call was correct.
(NCAA guys...clarify if the NCAA rule is same or different?)
