Ok, here is the scenario in a thought experiment:
B1 steps into A1's path when A1 is trying to save the ball and minor contact occurs. then A1 tries to go around B1, but B1 moves side way with A1 while still in contact with A1, keeps blocking A1's path. Legal or not? if not legal, what is the rule basis? Thanks. |

To me this is not much different than boxing out on a rebound. It could be based on how the ball started to go out of bounds. If the players are not displacing each other, personally I do not see anything illegal. This is not in the tradition of a screen and we do not consider a box out to be illegal even when there is contact.
Peace

I think I am stuck because I'd like B1 to play the ball instead of the player's body for the loose ball in this case. Thanks to all who responded. I am all set with this one. Have a good weekend! ysong |

When you maintain contact and continue blocking someone's path, you're keeping him "from getting to where he wants to go."

Glad I am not alone wanting to call it a foul. But what is the rule basis for calling it illegal? (Like I said, I failed to find any support from the rulebook.) Thanks. |

Oh well, I thought screen did not apply in this case, since it was the defense side who was doing the moving and blocking...
Then what is the difference between this play and the defense boxing out the offense? Thanks. |

And if it prevents A1 from getting the ball. That said, all the benefit goes to team B (by officiating standard). |
