Shoulder Width Screen ???
IAABO (not the NFHS) came out with an interesting ruling on a recent "Make The Call" play:
For a player to establish a legal screening position, They must ensure their feet are no more than shoulder‑width apart (NFHS 4-40). In this play, the screener's feet are clearly wider than shoulder width, which would seem to support a team-control foul being ruled on this play. The NFHS Rules Committee recently approved a new rule interpretation that supports a screen to be legal, (even if the screener's stance is wider than shoulder width), if the only contact that occurs is on the screener's torso. So beginning with the 2024-25 season, the contact we see in this clip will be legal incidental contact. If the contact occurs below the torso in the leg area, the contact will continue to be illegal if the freedom of movement of the player being screened is inhibited. It will be important for officials to learn this new interpretation, which will be supported through a casebook play. The rule itself will not change, which could be misleading. We hope this play summary helps you apply this new interpretation accurately to this type of screening situation going forward.

That is how it called that I am aware. It is where the contact takes place that matters, not just the set up of the screener.

Must there be contact?
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?

Contact ...

I call illegal screens all the time for contact with extended knees and extended elbows.

Moving Screen ...
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.

Could it be considered a technical foul (non-contact) then?
Quote:
If the extra-wide stance is illegal but nothing can be called without contact, is this an instance whereby we have an illegal action in the rulebook but no penalty? (I can think of only one other instance)

Only if you think it's somehow "unsporting" -- and this example doesn't fit with any of the other examples of "unsporting" in the rules book.
