on or within the basket and a player touches the
ball, the net, or any part of the basket.

touched while it is in the imaginary cylinder
above the rim.
5. Interference can also occur if a player puts

an intentional foul should be called when a
player causes excessive contact with an
opponent.
12. When guarding an opponent, it is an act of

should not be called.
15. When setting a screen, high school

in any direction, time and distance are
relevant, the screener must be stationary except
when moving in the same path and direction as
the defender.
16. When a screener approaches a defender from
the side or front, the screener can be anywhere
as long as contact is not made.
17. High School Basketball rules states that a
screener that comes up to the defender from
behind, the screener needs to give the defender

moving defender, they must allow enough time and
distance for the defender to avoid the screen.
19. High School Basketball rules states that the
principle of “verticality” need to be preceeded
by a legally defensive guarding position.

vertical plane).
