Show me where I said, she has to allow her 2 strides?

But BZ, what almost everyone is saying is, the screener was set enough in this play for it to be legal, because of the speed of the play. I know and understand the rule, and understand its application in real time basketball. The defender took one complete slide step (WATCH THE RIGHT FOOT) as the screener got set (WATCH HER LEFT FOOT). I think the slide step counts as a stride, no? And as JRut said, if this is an illegal screen, we better all blow our whistles until we're blue in the face, because I've seen much worse not called.

Oh yeah, I'm done with this one. Agree to disagree.
