Back screens
Coaching now. I know dark side. In the half court can a back screen be set just short of player contact or must the screener allow opportunity to avoid?

The rule for a blind screen is that you must give the screened player a step. If you do that, whether they can change direction or avoid the screen is irrelevant. Also even if that does not happen, the contact still has to displace an opponent in some way. So they could make contact, but if neither player is displaced illegally, then it is not a foul. A lot of judgment involved on this kind of play.

A blind screen can be set around the ball or away from the ball. Where the ball is does not change the basics of the rule.

Doesn't time/distance apply off ball?

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. |

Now, in practice, im not sure when the last time i saw a back pick where a full step was allowed. If they come short of contact its never called...unless, as Jeff said, there's some form of displacement. screener knocks him off etc. Rule doesnt say that but that's way game has been played... |

There must be some contact for there to be a foul obviously. Similarly, if im going to screen a moving opponent and jump in front of him just shy of contact...completely set etc. ..he then hits me and is prevented from getting to point B because that's a foul on me. Did not give him time and distance to avoid contact. Rule tells us where the legal position on floor is that we can set the pick. Last edited by BigCat; Wed Feb 08, 2017 at 10:47pm.
