I heard Kevin Stallings (Vandy's coach) describe the play this morning. They were trying to run 2 screens - one in front of the throw-in, and other for the player who caught the ball. He said he was actually hoping to get a switch on the defenders, but as it turned out, both defenders stayed with the screener and left the other guy wide open for the layup.

Now, as is often the case, I watch these games from the standpoint of an official. So, how do table-side mechanics work in this particular gym? Granted, the table is where it's supposed to be, but aren't the benches along the baseline? So how does the calling official communicate with the coach when the baseline official is probably the closest? I tried to watch to see if they did anything different (report the foul, go baseline?!?). I just wonder if there have been other unusual gym setups, and if officials "modified" their mechanics to fit the situation?
