Sometimes no one hits anyone but the confusion switching/spacing it gets a positive result for the offense. So sometimes its nothing, and sometimes its becoming an moving screen depending on the timing and who gets to who first.
Now this criss crossing action is happening almost every pass/play and we are trying officiate almost all these games 2 man. At least 2 or 3 times a game I know the defense is getting blasted by an illegal screen but never sure when its actually going to be an illegal screen. Between post play and on ball coverage in two person I just can't watch every cut.
Suggestions for officiating this type of action and picking it up more often in a 2 person game.

Had a team use this years ago in BV. I called an illegal screen by A3. The coach didn't know why it was a foul. I explained it to him in hockey terms and he understood.
My advice - go watch these teams as a spectator. While officiating - you're just going to need to step up and grab the early one. Consider this an opportunity!
