Moving screen (or not)

Camron Rust

I agree with JRutledge on this one.

Refering anything as a moving screen can only cause trouble. For an overwhelming majority of those that hear "moving screen" it means something completely different than the situation that Chuck is pointing out. It will be heard as the common meaning instead of the intended meaning.

Because none of you have any self respect??

Because none of us has any self respect. I may not have self respect, but I have a solid grasp of English grammar.

I beg to differ.

have: to use or exhibit in action.

None of you people exhibit self respect.

You might beg, and you might differ, but your grammar still stinks. 🙂

"None" is singular in number. "Exhibit" is plural in number. You should say, "None of you exhibits self respect." Just trying to help.

"None" is singular in number. "Exibit" is plural in number. You should say, "None of you exibits self respect." Just trying to help.

"Exibit"? 🙂 So much for Mr. Spelling Guy... 🙄

LMAO. I typed it fast and then ran out to walk the dog. When I got back, I saw the mistake (twice, no less) and edited the post. Then when I submitted it, I saw your reply. Got me!! LOL

Ok fine, I'll agree.

None of you has any self respect.

(Of course, all but 1 of you can reach the back burner of his stove without standing on a chair...but I digress...)

Only if there was illegal contract...

These are high school kids. Almost all of them are under 18; so there would be many illegal contracts. 🙂

I still wonder if LeBron James had an illegal contract when he was still in high school. Heck, none of my kids ever bought a Hummer!

Well, LeBron didn't either. His mom bought the Hummer. (Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. Say no more!) Let's at least get our facts straight before we go around insinuating that a huge sneaker company might be unethical enough to give a 17-year-old millions of dollars under the table to secure his future services.

So if the dribbler is going down court, can three of his team mates form a line alongside of him as screeners and keep the defense from getting to the dribbler as he goes in for a lay up? They are moving screens and there is no contact. Is that legal?

Yes. You can't have a personal foul without contact. With contact, you're into screening principles to make the correct call. Don't forget also that every player on the floor is legally allowed to establish a straight line path.
