What one player was attempting to prevent the other from doing is not the important part. Where was the contact and what were the positions of the players involved in relation to each other?

Both players moving, one player steps in front of the other and shoulders him out of his path? Sounds like a blocking foul to me. The fact that the one player is not attempting to play the ball is not relevant.

There is nothing illegal inherently to get in someone's way. The only thing you could say is if he caused illegal contact to prevent movement. In other words the screen rules apply, but when there is a loose ball I would not start nitpicking what guys to going for the ball on that level. Now if he knocked him out of the way that is different but simply getting in the way of someone is not illegal at all.

Peace

We see this all of the time...basically the one player is "boxing out" the other so they can't get to a ball going out of bounds. This is a foul if there is enough contact and displacement takes place. IMO we don't call this foul enough and at times this play get really rough.

We just have to have the guts to call it, because it will not be a popular call at all. It will be the right call though.

But, "stepping in front" of or "impeding" as described in the initial OP or incidental contact is also nothing - and may also not be a popular call......unless this is soccer, then it happens all the time.

Nope, we pretty much know what he means.

Some of us, me included, are not good spellers.....and Mr. Spelling and Vocabulary man hasn't been around for a while.

The ball is rolling toward the out of bounds area player A1 is running the ball down to safe it has player B1 steps in front of player A1 who is a few feet from the ball. Preventing the player from making a playable attempt on saving the ball from going out of bounce. Is this a blocking foul when player B1 tries to impede player A1 who is attempting to safe the ball?

Glad I scanned the answers first. I was going to quote you. Wait, I think I just did.
