Ok. I understand about deciding the call. But which rule are you referring to?

Screening vs Guarding. Both players are moving and both players are governed by rules that limit their movement at or before the time of contact. Both have violated those rules in both of those scenarios. You have to figure out which one applies to the situation. Is the offense screening the defender or is the defender interfering with the offense?

Imaging A2 and B2 running directly at each other and colliding. Who is the foul on....both are moving??

If B2 is guarding A2, then B2 is guilty of a foul. If A2 is screening B2, A2 is guilty of a foul. It can't be both. It depends on what else is happening around them...the context.

LBJ is on the FT line with the ball.

I was about to ask what Lyndon Baines Johnson was doing playing basketball but then it clicked.
