But how many defenders do you know set a screen behind a player with the ball? Wouldn't it be more likely they are guarding that player, not screening that player? If that's the case, then guarding principles apply, so that the defender could be right behind the stationary player with the ball, and time and distance would not be a factor.

He's talking about the difference between a screen set on the defender on ball, or a screen set on a defender off ball. Either way, it's an offensive screen.

Yep, you're probably right. I was just caught up in a flashback of a discussion I had with a fellow young official who was confused between screening principles and guarding principles.

So, in the words of the esteemed Emily Latella: "Never mind."

For my clarification:

If the screen is set in the visual field of the defender (e.g., on the side) then no space is required? Is that correct?

Correct, assuming the screened player is stationary.
