Sounds logical, but, citation please.

4-40: A screen is legal action by a player who, without causing contact, delays or prevents an opponent from reaching a desired position. To establish a legal screening position: The screener must stay within his/her vertical plane with a stance approximately shoulder width apart.

Nice citation BigCat.

It does, but what does that have to do with how a player stands for the jump ball?

If a player is standing with his feet way wide, beyond shoulder width, to simply take up more space on the circle AND an opponent wants part of the space i will make the player take a normal stance. it is an example of what i consider to be the "spot" that every player is entitled to....

And you would be wrong. You would be attempting to apply a rule that does not exist.

I dont think i'm wrong. IF a player tries to take up a ton of room by spreading his legs out and another player wants part of the space i will make him take normal stance. we have example in screen rule about what proper stance looks like. also, verticality, rebounding defintions. i think my interpretation is reasonable.

Big Cat:

You are trying to apply the Screening Rule to a non-screening situation. Stop trying to apply a rule that does NOT exist.

Because screening is defined as action by a player who, without causing contact, delays, or prevents an opponent from reaching a desired position, like a desired position on the jump ball circle.

So, you're calling a foul?
