If it is on C's side, L can move ballside to assist on screening action, with C handling the ballhandler and his defender. For a 2P game, Lead has screener/screener's defender, and T has the ballhandler with his defender).

Screening - above three point arc. Screening has become more prevalent in high school basketball as coaches copy and teach what they see at the collegiate level. There are many more ball screens in today’s offenses, both above the three point arc and at the elbow near or below the free throw line. Because these plays involve multiple players including a primary matchup on the ball handler, in many cases it is very difficult if not impossible for one official to adequately cover and rule on the play. This type of play often is referred to as a “two-official” play where coverage mechanics requires two officials to have responsibility in what is normally not a dual coverage area. Trail Official A. Primary responsibility for the ball handler and the ball handler’s primary defender. B. Secondary responsibility for the screener and the screener’s defender. C. Adjust his/her position to obtain and maintain an open look at all four players involved. Center Official A. Primary responsibility for the screener and the screener’s defender. B. Secondary responsibility for the ball, ball handler and the ball handler’s defender. C. Observe for any illegal contact by the screener’s defender (Freedom of Movement). D. Observe the legality of any screens. E. Adjust his/her position to obtain and maintain an open look at all four players involved. Lead Official A. A. Primary responsibility for any post play. B. Expand PCA to include any competitive matchups not covered by the center official.
Screening -At Elbow. There are primarily two types of screens at the elbow. One involves the ball handler setting the screen and the other involves a teammate setting the screen for the ball handler. Trail Official A. Primary responsibility for ball, ball handler and ball handler’s defender. a. If the ball handler is the screener, observe the legality of the screen by the ball handler. i. Stationary, time and distance. ii. Do not allow the ball handler to move into an opponent after handing the ball off or passing the ball to a teammate. B. Secondary responsibility for the screener and the screener’s defender. C. Adjust his/her position to obtain and maintain an open look at all four players involved. Lead Official A. Must be ball side. B. Primary responsibility for the screener and the screener’s defender. C. Observe for any illegal contact by the screener’s defender (Freedom of Movement). D. Observe the legality of any screens set. E. Adjust his/her position to obtain and maintain an open look at the screener and the screener’s defender. Center Official A. Expands PCA to cover any competitive matchups in the free throw lane. B. If there are no competitive matchups in the free throw lane, may assist with screening action. C. Maintains coverage of off ball plays in his/her PCA.
