MTS/Duke Video Request
 

Could anyone post the dunk/illegal screen called in the MTS/Duke game at 15:19 of the second half? Rut?

THANKS!

MTS or Tennessee State?

Give me a chance when I get home. I will quickly look and post the video.

Peace

Sorry! Tennessee State.....THANKS!

Won't be able to find the video bc it was a phantom call. BOOM!

I am not so sure I agree with that assessment. It might have not been the best call you will ever see, but it looks illegal. Video coming soon.

Peace

If someone could combine the two threads that would be appreciated as well.

That is a foul. He leaned into him to slow him down and it did.

It starts legal, but when the blue defender tries to go under the screen, it becomes illegal.

He goes outside of his frame to continue the screen. If he just stood there, there is not a foul or all. But this was a little "touchy" IMO, but it is because it is not called enough.

You mean that hold by the screener?

I posted that as a fan [emoji12]

Now as an official....I'm agreeing it was illegal. But, that almost never gets called in games I watch. And I do think the defender was doing a little acting there and also creating some of the contact as well. He kinda shoved his way through the screen. But, BNR is correct, there is a hold at the very end.

Rut, THANKS for posting this! Tim

As the amount of ball screen action continues to grow in games the amount of in consistencies can become more apparent.

That call is 100% accurate.

The issue (not that we need to care) for coaches, fans, announcers etc. Is if that screen is illegal (and it is) both teams and teams all over the country every night are setting illegal screens that are not being gotten.

This is probably true. Hence why this has become a more and more frequent POE. I think as an officiating community we're gradually getting better at making these calls, though. These screens have become more prevalent as the game has become more oriented to the perimeter. So as the game evolves, so do we.

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.

I agree that a foul was committed by the screener but I would say that the foul was more of a holding foul by the screener after the initial contact between the screener and the screenee.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Trail in this clip. As Trail, we have to stay connected to the play. This dude looks like he thinks the play is going long. He should be at the 28' on the sideline refereeing this action, and have primary whistle on this play.
