Doesn't time/distance apply off ball?

"Time and distance" phrase really involves moving opponents without ball v stationary opponents.

Time and distance applies to all screens, not just the ones off ball.

In NCAAW, the phrase "time and distance" applies only to guarding and not to screening. Is that true in FED (i don't have the books handy)?

For screening (and I think this is the same in all the codes):

If the opponent is moving: Must give room to stop or change directions

If the opponent is stationary and the screen is "blind": Must give one step

If the opponent is stationary and the screen is within the visual field: Short of contact.

ART. 5

When screening a moving opponent, the screener must allow the opponent time and distance to avoid contact by stopping or changing direction. The speed of the player to be screened will determine where the screener may take his/her stationary position. The position will vary and may be one to two normal steps or strides from the opponent.

ART. 6

When screening an opponent who is moving in the same path and direction as the screener, the player behind is responsible if contact is made because the player in front slows up or stops and the player behind overruns his/her opponent.

ART. 7

A player who is screened within his/her visual field is expected to avoid contact by going around the screener. In cases of screens outside the visual field, the opponent may make inadvertent contact with the screener and if the opponent is running rapidly, the contact may be severe. Such a case is to be ruled as incidental contact provided the opponent stops or attempts to stop on contact and moves around the screen, and provided the screener is not displaced if he/she has the ball.

Phrase "time and distance" is in screening rule and also guarding dealing with moving opponents without ball.
