Impeding Progress, defender pushes screener Impeding Progress, defender impedes cutter Offensive foul, dribbler pushes off on drive and pull up
“This is an example of a defensive foul for impeding progress. The defensive player, Gabe Vincent, initiates illegal contact with Harrison Barnes, the offensive player who is cutting around a screen. This illegal contact clearly affects the freedom of movement of the offensive player, and it is a defensive foul. A defensive player may not dislodge or reroute an offensive player, nor may he impede an offensive player’s progress.”
