That's a completely different play. That's a block.

Tony -- I don't understand this. Please explain.

In either case, you might get ready to "T" up a coach unless you know for sure what you have.

This is a player control foul on A1. Yes, B1 is not in a legal guarding position, but is effecting a legal moving screen against A1. A1 cannot move into B1.

No it wouldn't be a block, it would be a pushing or charging foul by A1 and since A1 had control of the ball when committing the foul, A1's foul is a player control foul.

Alright this will sound stupid but I'm reading the rule book under 10-6-1, 2, & 3 and it never mentions a dribbler or ball handler in Art. 3 concerning screens. Is it possible to actually screen a dribbler?

In the notes section under Art. 3 it goes on to state when a guard moves into the path of a dribbler and contact occurs, either player may be responsible for the contact. But the greater responsibility is on the dribbler if the guard conforms to the following principles - guard must be in guarding position with both feet on the floor and facing the dribbler.

Go back to Rule 4, Definitions (both NFHS and NCAA) and read the definitions of guarding and screening. You will see that only defensive players can guard, but any player on the court either offensivie (including the player in control of the ball) or defensive players can set a screen.

Pretty sure you know a block when you see one Juules.

Yea, okay, but when I'm seeing this play I'm seeing the dribbler initiating contact on a defender that's moving away. Why is that a block?
