. Either way, it's a defensive foul. The player in trail has the respobsibility to avoid contact when two players are taking the same path.

If what you say is true, and I'm not saying that it isn't, then I gave a pretty good explanation to the coach. Not bad for a 10:00 a.m. scrimmage. Imagine how good my answer would have been if I had been fully awake.

Everybody agree with Snaqwells?

When screening an opponent who is moving in the same path and direction as the screener, the player behind is responsible if contact is made because the player in front slows up or stops and the player behind overruns his/her opponent.

Bingo.

Thanks to Snaqwells and BktBallRef.

Maybe I should work all my games in the morning. Apparently I do my best work when I'm half asleep?
