By your argument, you'd have to argue that 80% of fouls shouldn't be fouls because the player committing them didn't mean to. |

If the dribbler had done the same thing and been in a motion of passing the ball to a teammate in that direction, I would then consider it a defensive foul. |

That's not what I meant and you know it. So if a dribbler, suddenly changes direction, for whatever reason, and a defensive player runs them over from behing you are going to go with an offensive foul by applying the screening principle? Good luck with that. Some of you guys like to show how smart you supposedly are and apply principles that are not correct to the situation. |

Go ahead, but I don't think you will find a lot of officials that will make that call. In an actual game, most officials will not call the play an offensive foul. Especially the situation in the OP. There's not enough information to assume that the case fits the situation. |

FWIW, that OP was precisely this case play....that was the entire point of the OP. |

Screening Exception ...
Quote:
If so, I don't think that the number of steps matters: COMMENT: When both the dribbler and the opponent are moving in exactly the same path and same direction, the player behind is responsible for contact which results if the player in front slows down or stops. If not, I think that the number of steps does matter because screening principles apply: COMMENT: Screening principles apply to the dribbler who attempts to cut off an opponent who is approaching in a different path from the rear. In this case, the dribbler must allow such opponent a maximum of two steps or an opportunity to stop or avoid contact. |

Hamlet's Soliloquy ...

Agree, both reasonable, and correct, but there aren't too many of us who are going to count steps and call a player control blocking (illegal screen) foul on a dribbler who changes direction and slows down to get his footwork established before a shot attempt and is plowed into by a defender from behind. |
