In response to Nu1...it seems every team has a version of a "box" that they run to inbound under their basket. Inevitably it seems to involve a back screen on a defender at the junction of the freethrow line and the lane line extended. The defender is guarding their opponent who is above the key. Here comes an offensive player, sets a screen right behind the defensive player, and the offensive player who was above the key, now has a free shot to the basket, because the defensive player was illegally screened. It takes two things...1) to recognize what's happening, and then, 2) call it.
