NFHS 10-4 is Player Technical (at least in 22-23; the latest book I have handy at the moment). And, one of the articles references unsporting fouls. A wide screen with no contact is not one of them

Don't hear it from coaches and fans as much as in ancient times, but officials used to get complaints about "Moving screens" when there was no contact.

Guess they finally wisened up.

A moving screen is not in and of itself a foul; illegal contact must occur for a foul to be called.

A1 sets a screen with their legs spread very far apart. This forces a defender to completely change their path by moving in a wide motion, to avoid contact. This allows the offense player to easily get open.

Illegal screen even without contact?

No. And if he makes no attempt to get around that player and help cause the contact it would be nothing as well.

Nice to finally have it in "writing", especially for those extra extra wide feet screens, where the coach says, "That has to be illegal".
