So, a screen, huh?
I don't know what the heck he's talking about.

And, if he brings up an inadvertant whistle on a phantom back court violation, I don't know what he's talking about there either.

As far as the screen, the way I heard it was there was an inbounds play where the player receives the pass inbounds, then starts to dribble up the sideline. However, the dribbler didn't see the perfect screen set up right in front of them. The screener had good position, and allowed for time and distance before the contact. The dribbler was good enough to play through the contact, kept the dribble, and circled around the screen and continued down the floor.

(Um, the screener happened to be the official on that side of the floor who had a brain fart and was not moving fast enought to become the new L. I also heard that official bears a resemblance to me. But, that's just what I heard...)
