What rule would a player violate for rerouting of an opponent?

[MiamiWadeCounty]

For instance, on a fast break, an offensive or defensive player reroutes an opponent by using their body and pushing the opponent out of their intended path.

[APG]

What rule set? And is there more to the question?

If "rerouting" requires pushing, it's a mere pushing foul, team control foul if the offense does it.

+1 that's what I'm picturing.

A player using their body (perhaps using shoulder or chest) to move/push an opponent out of their intended path.

You have to more clearly define what you mean by:

There's not enough context to answer that question in your OP.

NFHS:

10-6

ART. 1 . . . A player shall not hold, push, charge, trip or impede the progress of an opponent by extending arm(s), shoulder(s), hip(s) or knee(s), or by bending his/her body into other than a normal position; nor use any rough tactics.

ART. 3 . . . A player shall not use his/her hands on an opponent in any way that inhibits the freedom of movement of the opponent or acts as an aid to a player in starting or stopping.

ART. 9 . . . When a dribbler in his/her progress is moving in a straight-line path, he/she may not be crowded out of that path, but if an opponent is able to legally obtain a defensive position in that path, the dribbler must avoid contact by changing direction or ending his/her dribble

Not sure if that's what you were looking for.

I understand that rule. But that rule doesn't cover a payer without the ball.

Well how about 4-23-1?

But 10-6 articles 1 and 3 do cover players without the ball.

If you go back and look, I added the additional articles that I would think answer your question.

The problem with your question is the words "tries" and "re-route".

Tries means they weren't successful.

Re-routing could be done without actual contact. So we need specific, descriptive examples to work with here.

I feel like this is a trick question or should I say a loaded question... your title asks:

What rule would a player violate for rerouting of an opponent?

Freedom of movement, perhaps?
