This is the definition of a blind screen - the screener came from outside the periferal vision of the moving defender and jumped into place while the defender was moving toward her. the contact looks to occur as the defender is putting her foot back on the floor from her step, and the screener takes a dive. see the referenced rule below. there is more than just the one step guidline in the rule.


fouls and penalties
Section 6 Contact Art 3
a player who screens shall not -
c. take a position so close to a moving opponent that this opponent cannot aviod contact by stopping or changing direction. The speed of the player to be screened will determine the posisition ... etc.
