Sit C has the correct ruling, but for the wrong reason. The try has nothing to do with this action. There simply is no longer a rule preventing a defender from leaving the court to avoid a screen.

Agreed with St B, part (c). I wonder where the dividing line is.

I think the defense can still be called for a violation, just not in the specific play. The rule only says "player" and hasn't changed since last year. If they took it out here, they should add a case where it is a violation
