What do you have?

Your sitch sounds like A1 was at the spot before B1. From what I am reading, I would likely have a "push" foul on B1.

A1 needs to give B1 time and distance before setting a screen. I used to get away with this a lot as a point guard.

When a dribbler in his/her progress is moving in a straight-line path, he/she may not be crowded out of that path. An opponent must obtain a legal defensive position in that path to put the responsibility of contact onto the dribbler.

Let me guess. The coach wanted an over-the-back reaching foul.

If B1 established his path and A1 altered to get in the way and draw contact, time and distance are relevant.

I guess fiasco is right, HTBT.

We have both possibilities covered. So, Johnny Ringo, how did it occur?

Think of it like this:

(Case 1) A1 dribbling the ball straight down the floor.

B1 (defense) running 2-3 fet to the left side of A1.

A1 gets to the division line and creates a path that is angled to the basket and collides with B1 who continued on a straight line?

(Case 2) Or A1 dribbles into the path or body of B1, who is still running in a straight path?

I assume most will always have a foul on B1 in case (1) and possibly want to call offensive foul on A1 in case (2)
