I thought that was interesting considering what I read on this board.

BTW, I did not take his advice.

I personally think that you are better off saying nothing at the table, just give the signal that is appropriate. But that is just my opinion.

Rut,
Saying nothing is probably safer than saying block on a moving screen. If we use rule book terminology, some coaches say , "Huh?" and then you get gigged for poor mechanics (in Michigan) for not giving the moving screen side-step, the Grizzly Bear arm stretch or the hokey-pokey kick-step.
