Stop your kids from setting illegal screens - teach them the proper way to set a screen - and I guarantee that you will be called for less of them.  |
To the letter of the rule...yes probably correct.....but the same is not called on other teams that I scout or coach against. So yes, we get away with less "illegal activity" than other teams which creates an advantage for them.
Didn't want to turn this thread into a post about my team setting illegal screens, just wanted everyones opinion on pre-game tendencies.
I know my opinion of them, but everyone has made some valid points as well. Thanks for the comments....don't agree on the pre-game scouting as far as team and player tendencies (not including dirty players), but nonetheless, I think everyone has raised some good points.
