But the defense DID run through the pick. That's the point. Or are you saying that since the defense also fell, she didn't run through?
Barry and Hawk's Coach: I'm not sure what you would call the visual field of the defender. She was looking straight ahead, and the screener was right in front of her. The contact was torso to torso. And she didn't try to avoid contact. She may or may not have seen the screen, but the second-to-the-last defender went around the screen, so this last one should have had some clue that there was something or someone there.
And it was obvious to me that neither the trail nor the center saw the play. They were both looking well forward, with their backs to the situation. I'm not saying all this to be harsh or critical. But it WAS a mistake, and it gave me something to think about -- even when I'm that good (not if, but when!) I'll still be making the occasional big mistake. So I'd better learn how to handle it...
