All in all, he's probably not going to get another playoff game because of that one call. He certainly won't make the Final Four with end of game judgement like that. He has great mechanics though. Great mechanics plus poor judgement = no more playoff games, imho.

Old School:

Please read the NFHS, NCAA Men's/Women's or FIBA rules books. You will see that: 1) The definitions of both guarding and screening are identical in all three codes; 2) This is a situation where the defensive player is effecting a legal moving screen against the offensive player and the offensive player moved into the defensive player.
