The screener may move in the same direction and path of the opponent being screened.

Rule 13—Section II—e,Instant Replay,Reviewable Matters,"If an instant replay review is triggered as described in Section I-a(5) above, the Replay Center Official and on-court official(s) would review the video to determine the fol- lowing issues:
The proper time (if any) on the game clock following the clock malfunction by determining how much time on the game clock actually expired.
For a successful field goal, whether the ball left the shooter’s hand prior to the expiration of actual time.
Whether a called foul that is not committed on or by a player in the act of shooting occurred prior to the expiration of actual time.
For a called foul that is committed on or by a player in the act of shooting: whether the foul occurred prior to the expiration of actual time; or whether the shooter released the ball prior to the expiration of actual time if the foul occurred after the expiration of actual time.
1. If the shot was timely, whether the successful field goal was scored correctly as a 2-point or 3-point field goal or, in the case of a shooting foul, whether the shooter fouled was attempting a 2-point or 3-point field goal.
2. If the shot was timely, whether the shooter committed a boundary line violation or the ball touched out-of-bounds prior to entering the basket or, in the case of a foul, whether the player fouled committed a boundary line violation. For purposes of this review, the Replay Center Official would look only at the position of the player’s feet at the moment they last touched the floor immediately prior to (or, if applicable, during) the release of the shot or the foul (as applicable).
3. Whether the shot clock expired before the ball left the shooter’s hand or the foul occurred.
4. Whether an 8-second backcourt violation occurred before the ball entered the frontcourt.
5. Whether any unsportsmanlike acts or unnecessary contact NOTE: If time is added to the game clock: 1.The team with possession of the ball when the horn or whistle sounds will retain possession on the sideline at the nearest spot. 2.If the ball is released on an unsuccessful field goal attempt or is loose when the horn or whistle sounds, the ball will be jumped at center circle between any two opponents in the game. 3.If the horn or whistle sounds while a successful field goal is in flight, the opposing team will inbound on the baseline as after any successful field goal."
