Clean Block or a Foul?

Actually, 4-27 doesn't say that. 4-40 is the one that says that referring to a player running into a blind screen. Not a very good comparison here.

Maybe you need to go back and read all the articles in 4-27.

From 4-27:

ART. 2 . . . Contact, which may result when opponents are in equally favorable
positions to perform normal defensive or offensive movements, should not be
considered illegal, even though the contact may be severe.

I stand corrected.

Read it earlier, didn't see it.

Someone has tampered with my book.
