You got that right! - did that once about 10 years ago. I was sprinting down the sideline covering a fast break when one of the cheerleaders leaned into the court to get a better look. I saw her at the last scond out of the corner of my eye and tried to adjust - we hit glancing shoulder to shoulder - not much of a contest...175# of me at full speed vs. maybe 115# of her....she went flying & slid on her backside for about 15 feet. Fortunately she wasn't injured.

We don't have any specific rules, but if we think there is a hazard or they may interfere with play we make them move.
