A slightly different scenario:
B2 is guarding A2. B1 is guarding A1. A1 drives past B1. At what point would A2's "boxing out" (really screening) of B2 constitute an illegal screen? What determines that B2 is no longer guarding A2, but is attempting to guard A1? Is this strictly the official's judgment or are there guidelines for this? |
I do not have an easy answer for you. I think you just have to see the play enough to know. I will say this, I will and have called fouls when the offensive player or screener starts using their arms and hips to keep them away from the ball handler as they go to the basket. A lot of people allow this to take place without any penalty. I think you have to use your best judgment. You know when the offensive player without the ball is trying to move to give space if you see it enough.

If A2 is running in the same direction as A1, then it's tough to determine but if we don't have a break away layup type situation, the offensive players needs to remain still. I will also offer a couple of other points to consider. If the defender has no possible chance of preventing the score or play, I'm not calling an illegal screen unless of course there is blood or an intentional foul. What has not been discussed here is time and distance. If the offense has gone into their shooting motion and release the ball, and a secondary defender is fouled by a secondary offender (A2), then you can count the bucket and still have a foul on the offense. TC rules would then come into play and you would administer as such. |

If B2 gets into the path of A1 legally before there is contact, then he can draw a charge. If he tries to get into the path and doesn't make it, then it's a block. Same as always. Regardless of who's guarding or screening whom, you just apply the rules as you've studied them, and that helps you determine who's legal and who's not. Or am I just misunderstanding the question? |

Ols School speaks a strange but oddly beautiful language, one that has not been interpreted into other earthly languages yet. It is only understood by himself and a few other denizens of the planet that he dwells on. The only thing that we know for certain is that his strange language has got absolutely nothing to do with basketball officiating. |
