Can a secondary defender obtain a legal screening position in the Restricted Area?
 
In NCAA, can a secondary defender establish a legal screening position in the Restricted Area for the purposes of drawing a player control foul?

The NCAA rules only say that a secondary defender cannot establish an initial legal guarding position in the RA. Nothing specify that a secondary defender cannot establish a legal screening position in the RA.

It's late, so maybe I'm missing something.

Please describe a play where this would (or might) make a difference.

This question makes no sense. The rule is cut and dry and your questions is nonsensical.

I am talking about a play in which defensive player B5 has been holding a position in the RA for a while and is facing away from the dribble, and then the dribbler, who has beaten his primary defender, clashes into B5.

In this situation, B5 can be to considered to be screening because B5 has been holding his position for a while and gave the dribble the opportunity to avoid contact. The rules say nothing about no screening in the RA, so I am asking just to clarify.

Or you can say that B5 isn't really a Secondary Defender because he didn't really helped his teammate by moving into the path of the dribbler. Is B5 considered a secondary defender?

Oh I wish, but right now I'm just a student of the game.
