Moving screen

[Bart Tyson]

Good point about the "dancing or being prevented from getting to a spot". The play I saw A3 only had to move a couple feet back and forth, keeping her body in front of her. To me she was beating B3 to the spot. However, the question is she preventing her freedom of movement? I see post players, posting up, doing the same thing with no foul.

Moving while screening is legal if both players are moving in the same direction and path.

If the B3 is attempting to move around A3 is moving and creating contact to prevent the defender from getting by, the screen is illegal.

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't that rule about moving screens and SAME path SAME direction refer to some thing like chasing a loose ball. Example ball last touched by A1 and it is rolling toward out of bounds. B1 gets between A1 and the ball and lets it roll out of bounds screening A1 from getting tot he ball. This would be the moving screen that is legal. Same with A1 fast break and A2 steps in front of B1 slowing down to keep him from making a defensive play. Those are really the only two I can think of. Same direction, same path.

What does the rule say? I think you'll find no such restriction.
