NBA Screen
I have done some looking on Google but can't seem to piece it all together.
What constitutes an illegal screen in the NBA? When I am watching these games it always appears that they are moving while setting a screen. I am just curious as to their philosophy on screen and what determines a screen being either legal or illegal. Have a merry and blessed Christmas! |

Here's from 2013-14 (sorry about the poor cut-and-paste -- whatever pdf reader I'm working with here isn't very good): Section III—By Screening A player who sets a screen shall not (1) assume a p osition nearer than a normal step from an opponent, if that opponent is stationary an d unaware of the screener’s position, or (2) make illegal contact with an opponent when he a opportunity to stop and/or change direction before making illegal contact, or (4) move later- ally or toward an opponent being screened, after ha ving assumed a legal position. The screener may move in the same direction and path of the opponent being screened. In (3) above, the speed of the opponent being scree ned will determine what the screener’s stationary position may be. This positio n will vary and may be one to two normal steps or strides from his opponen ssumes a position at the side or front of |

Since when, at any level, does movement make a screen illegal?
