Well, i have two thoughts.
1. How does the R2 know when you are screened. Sometimes you may be, sometimes you may not. So, if he thinks you are screened and offers help, If you want it you are thankful, and if not, you feel like you are 'under the bus'.

2. Under the bus: Well, the R2 gives discrete help on 4 hits and back row faults.
Are you under the bus if you decide not to take it? How is this different than ball handling. Keep in mind I am not a proponent of the R2 making lots of ball handling calls, but the signals are in the rule book for a reason - and non of them are discrete.

3. And the R2 is now authorized to call back row violations if the R1 misses them, even though I will give the discrete signal first. Of course, if the R1 is not inclined to look at the R2 unless he is screened,


I guess that is 3 thoughts.........
