Case Book 10.6.1 Situation A:
Ruling: No The principles which apply to guarding a player who has the ball apply equally to guarding a player who does not have the ball, except in the case of switching to guard a player who does not have the ball. Thus, if B1 is guarding A1, who does not have the ball, and is in a guarding position (facing and in the path of A1), when A1 moves B1 may shift to remain in the path of A1 or to regain a position in the path of A2. If B1 loses the position in the path of A1 momentarily, but is able to regain a guarding position at the last moment, B1 is considered to be employing legal guarding tactics. If A1 charges into B1 under these conditions, A1 is responsible for the contact.
WOW! The part in italics puzzles me greatly. These maneuvers are NOT legal during screening, are they? How are guarding and screening different? Is this difference really what is intended by NFHS? Does anyone distinguish these situations in real life?
