One of the first arguements I had with a coach, very early in my career, was whether an offensive player could set a screen. I was brand new to any details of basketball, and felt no confidense at all, but was baffled as to why it would be impossible for an offense to use a screen. Finally, I said, "Okay, coach, I see. It wasn't a moving screen, it was an illegal block" Why the wording made any difference to him escaped me. That was before I had seen the medical evidence about the brains of most coaches and their various hormonal overloads. (The few coaches on this board, seem to have dealt with these problems in a really admirable manner).
