What's challenging about screens is that when you're trained to referee the defense, sometimes they can surprise you. Hence why sensing the broader picture of what the offense is trying to do is important.
You referee the defense, think like the offense.

Also motion offenses have become more prevalent and that is why were are seeing these screens more often.
