You were thinking in terms of a similar action that can be penalized without contact. That is not the goal.

The goal was to find a similar action, as far as being illegal, but without a written penalty. It is illegal to position oneself in that wide stance, however, there is no written penalty for it. So, is there any other defined, illegal activity/action for which there is no written penalty? I previously suggested another example being the scorer not wearing a striped shirt. The rulebook states that it is mandatory but yet there is no written penalty. With regards to the screen, it is illegal to position oneself a certain way but yet, there is no written penalty.

Are there any other such items that are deemed illegal/required/mandatory, in any way, that carry no written penalty? That was my aim. I will admit, it should probably have been a new/different/other thread entirely. (I may have had one a looong time ago)

A screen is only a screen if there is contact.

Don't know if it's still in the rule or case book, but I do remember seeing words written to that effect concerning "moving screens" in regards to them only being illegal if there is contact.

Agree 100%.

Been that way for forty-plus years.
