Syracuse @ GaTech - Illegal Screen in final seconds

[Pantherdreams]

I know the sticking point for a lot of people on this thread and the previous screening threads has been defining field of view. Where he looking? Where he could look if he chose to? etc

For my purpose here lets not worry about head turning or not turning. lets say from facing forward your peripherals go out to the sides at 90 degrees from the point forwad so an 180 degree range. More or less for some people I know but lets say that peripherals are the field of view.

Screener moves from out side of field of view into his field of view while he's focused on the ball carrier. After he establishes himself 1.5 steps by the defender take place before contact.

As an official and a basketball enthusiast this screen is poorly defended, the defense wants to be bailed out based to how they try to react to the screen the didn't get dealth with properly. I don't see the screener doing anything wrong.

Finally I will say that is this is an illegal screen then there aren't a lot of legal screens happening vs good active defense.

This play involves screening a moving opponent. The defender does have time and distance to stop so i don't have a problem with that. The issue for me is the screener sticks his right foot out into path and leans.

Panther i don't see this as a defensive issue as much as i do poor offense. 4 orange knows he's got a screen coming. he doesn't set up the defender and wait for the screen so screen can have full effect-- prevent defender from having any chance to go over top. Now, id like the screener's defender to be in the neighborhood but, with the dribbler going few feet outside screen, its not going to change the way its guarded. I would want the defender to stay with the dribbler….and i think he would have had screener stayed within frame etc.
