No Z, displacement is the main thing I am looking for.
Fair enough then.. even though the main thing I am looking for is what the screen does to the defender. I was apparently misled by your post that said, "Not only should their be contact on a screen, there should be displacement as well." Then further misled by your later post that said, "I still would want displacement at the levels I work." Then I was misled once again by your post that said, "And even in the rules is suggests that displacement still needs to be present on any screen."

Z
The rule speaks for itself. They ask for displacement as one of the things that should be there and that is what I am looking for with most screens. I am sorry that you are fixated on this one word, but I am not calling a foul for when a player makes no attempt to go thru that screen and the screener did not allow the proper time and distance. If that confuses you, then you will be confused. But displacement is a big part of that for me. Again, we all do not have the same judgment. In my mind, it does not take a lot of contact to displace someone, but I am not calling a foul for a player that just gives up on the play. Sorry, I just am not.

Peace
