19. QUESTIONS?

20. TEST A1, in attempting to screen, takes a stationary position in the path of moving B1. The position of A1 is so close that B1 cannot avoid A1 and contact results. Blocking foul on A1. Team control.

21. Test A1, in attempting to screen, takes a stationary position in the path of moving B1. The position of A1 is far enough away so that B1, who is aware of the position of A1, has an opportunity to avoid A1 but contact still results. Charging foul on B1.

22. Test • A2 and A3 set a screen on B4. B4 pushes his way between the screeners to guard A4. • Pushing or charging foul on B4.

23. Test • A1 cuts through the lane. B1 who is guarding A2 jumps in front of A1 (both feet down) to prevent A1’s getting through the lane. Contact occurs immediately. • Blocking foul on B1.

24. Test • Point guard A1 passes to A2 on the wing. As A1 cuts toward the basket, A3 leaves the post and moves toward the ball. A1 collides with B3 (covering A3), leaving A3 open to receive a pass from A2. • Illegal screen. Blocking foul A1.

25. Test • During a “stack” throw-in, A2 extends an elbow to screen B4 – contact occurs. A4 catches the ally-oop and scores. • Blocking foul on A2. Cancel the basket. This is NOT a team control foulB4 will shoot. If Team B is in the bonus, B4 will shoot.
