Legal moving screen

[Sharpshooternes]

Can someone explain or post a video of a legal moving screen mentioned in C below? Thanks.

ART. 2

To establish a legal screening position:

a. The screener may face any direction.

b. Time and distance are relevant.

c. The screener must be stationary, except when both are moving in the same path and the same direction.

d. The screener must stay within his/her vertical plane with a stance approximately shoulder width apart.

[just another ref]

Basically it's overstating the fact that if A1 is running down the court and B1 runs up his back, the foul can only be on B1.

Throw-in after a made basket...tight pressure on the ballhandler full court. You'll see the inbounder walk down the court with the dribbler using him as a screen. Since the screener and the defender will be moving the same direction, if there's contact, it's still a legal screen...even with the screener moving.

Disagree. If the defender stops, the screener can't just run him over.

Never said the defender stopped.

If the defender stops then they aren't moving in the same direction. Contact made is fault of the player in the back, Generally.

Think you are incorrect here. jar's post fits the play in question.

Which is not the play APG talks about. And even if the defender slows down in his example, the screener is responsible because he's in back.

That's not at all what the rule is saying.

You're saying if the screener and the ballhandler are moving in the same direction.

The rule is stating that the screener and the defender (player being screened) are moving in the same direction.

See, I had the situation in my head correct...and worded it incorrectly haha

I hate the term "Moving Screen". The defender can move all he wants to short of contact. How many times do we hear coaches (and fans) yelling for a "moving screen" when no contact occurs?
Let's stick to "Illegal Screen".

And contact doesn't always make a moving screen illegal.

This is really only a valid example if the defender is following the screener and that is not like the case in this situation. If the screener is following the defender and there is contact, the screener has fouled.

A better example....

Fast break. A4 running/jogging/walking straight down the court in line with the right lane line. A1 slashing from the sideline to the right block. B1 is racing down the court, also in line with the right lane line, in an attempt to get to A1 but runs into a moving A4 and is prevented from reaching A1. Legal screen.
