How can extending elbows forward in this un-natural manner to screen and then hold NOT be illegal?
There are 3 possibilities:
- Coach is not describing what he's actually teaching well enough in his posts
- Players are not actually executing on the court what coach is teaching
- The officials the coach run in to are not seeing this illegal action or they are ignoring it.
I know some PA officials so I doubt it's the third option (but if it is I wonder what other rough play they are letting go
).
As I said I don't see this in my games, but if I did I would make sure it didn't happen twice...unless the screened player did that for me.
