Is this legal? An offensive player sets a screen. As the defender attempts to go around the screen, the screener hops or shuffles into the defender's path.
I play pickup basketball with an honorable bunch of guys (and one gal). If we understand a rule, we generally abide by it. However, there's some contention on this issue. Some players think it's a legitimate move; others see it as an illegal screen. Thanks for any clues. Kal in Colorado |

It all depends.
First all there must be contact for any of this to be illegal and there must be displacment as well. Just having contact might not warrant a foul at all. In other words, if the defensive player saw the screen and decided to stop and there was very slight contact, then I would not call a thing. But if the defensive player was trying to get to a spot and the screen cut him off, it is a foul.

What Rut & Mick said...plus, I might also add, if illegal contact, even if only slight, causes an unfair advantage to the team setting the screen, I'd call that one too...but probably only in a girls' game.

I would also add that you have to see this. Was time and distance allowed when player moved? Many people think that a moving screen is something illegal. Making illegal contact is illegal. Moving continuously, then stopping and setting oneself before contact is made is not illegal.
I actually watched a game where the ref called a no-contact moving screen as a violation - no foul called! I explained to him later that it doesn't work that way - you need contact. |
