From the 2015-16 NCAAM Rulebook pg. 54

Rule 4, Section 34 Art. 2. In establishing and maintaining legal screening tactics, the screener shall:
a. Stay within his vertical plane with a stance no wider than shoulder
width apart and shall not lean into the path of an opponent or extend
hips into that path, even though the feet are stationary.

It's clear that the Iowa player stood wider than his shoulder width apart but such a tough play to call being in transition with all the factors the T has to officiate; I can understand the no-call.

I don't care how wide the legs are if the contact is square in the torso -- I only care about the width of the legs when the screened player hits or goes over the outstretched leg.
