So what language other than "never less than" could we be using to make it a more absolute minimum?
Kidding aside we had one of our preseason meetings yesterday and talked about this. Reality we decided, is we have to judge intent a little bit here. If the impeded player is clearly not trying to engage with player boxing out or posting up & is trying to get somewhere else then we need to call screens that are holding/displacing/moving. If they are clearly competing in a physical matchup with that player and the play just results in it acting like a screen we probably aren't going to put air on that.
Also most of our varsity games here are still 2 man so a lot of this is moot as if often happens off ball at times where other things may take priority.
