Moving Screen

[Umonblue]

Just some clarity and confirmation. It is only a "Violation" if the Offensive player makes a Illegal/Moving Screen with no physical contact and it is a "Personal Foul" if there is physical contact i.e. swings hip into defender, sticks knee out, etc.?

Foul if contact otherwise nothing.

[Coach Bill]

An illegal/moving screen without contact is not an illegal/moving screen. I'm not sure what you would call it, but it's not a violation. And, of course, it's not a foul either.

This is one of the great vampire myths that just won't die. A moving screen is NOT a violation, despite what gets argued in darn near every pick up game in the country. An improper screen can be a foul, if it is illegally moving or the cheap acts that you describe. Not all movement is illegal on a screen, which is again oft misunderstood.

So if an offensive player moves late in front of a defensive player (to set a pick) and makes that defensive player stop or go around him without contact then there's no call? No Violation for an Illegal/Moving screen? Reason I ask I saw this in a college basketball game and called as a violation...that crew must have called it wrong then.

Rule 4. Definitions Section 40 Screen is where you will find your answer.

"Moving screen" is not in the NFHS rule book. Things that happen in college do not necessarily translate to NFHS.

I think you need to re-read NFHS R4-S40-A6 again before you make that statement. I don't have my NCAA Men's and Women's Rules Books in front of me but they have the same Definition as the NFHS Rules have.

The words "moving screen" as a phrase does not show up in the case or rule books

Oh I did before I made the post. It's not there.

College (at least Men's which is all I care about anyway) does not have such language in their rulebook either. The screening rules are pretty much the same across the codes. And a screen can be illegal and be stationary. This is why officials and coaches need to stop using this term.

If the offended coach didn't get T'ed up for the tantrum he threw about it, I suspect there was something else going on that you didn't realize.

What you may witnessed is a screen set out of bounds. In that case, it is a violation and there does not need to be contact.

My bad. Looked in the rule book and could not find it. I thought the NCAA had a similar to the NBA.

The NCAA rule book says that a screen must be set inbounds for it to be legal. Does that mean that a screen set OOB is ruled a foul?
