Video Request: Mechanics of Calling a Screen Near the Division Line

[crosscountry55]

Might be hard to find, obscure network. Dayton @ Richmond, 1/25, NBC Sports Washington, 4:29 2nd.

Moving backcourt to frontcourt, D3 sets a screen in the backcourt near the center circle. R22, closely guarding the dribbler D0, doesn’t see it and slams into D3 at speed. T, who had been watching the transition dribble, appears to see the screen late, observes the massive collision, has to put air in the whistle for something like that of course, and calls an illegal screen on D3. But the screen was well set 3-4 steps before contact.

CI for sure, but here’s my discussion request. C was ahead of the play but looking over his shoulder he saw it develop. He definitely had an opinion on the play, but he didn’t go talk to T to give him any info. He flinched, almost as if he considered it. But the CI stood.

D head coach had a beef and ended up drinking some T for it.

Thought this would be a good “help?” play for discussion.
