You make the call -- Middle school game

What's the right call to make here? Foul or no-call? If foul, on whom? This is a middle school game.

Thanks!

Hard to see. I'm thinking there's an armbar of some type by the defender.

Video is too short/fast for me to judge what screener is doing. Either illegal screen or foul on defense

The defender's leg clipped the side of the screener. As the defender was stumbling her arm was in the back of the dribbler resulting in the dribbler going down.

The screen looked legal. You could possibly make the argument that it didn't give enough time & distance given that it was set on a moving opponent, but that isn't an absolute.

In the end, it looks like a defensive push, albeit unintentional, but a foul nonetheless.

Or the screener's legs might be too wide.

It's hard to make any call based on viewing the video we have.

I can't figure out how to upload a picture, but I captured the action at the moment of contact -- and it looks like *it could be* a lean / knee out / legs too wide to me. I recognize that different people will have different interpretations.

Yes, it could be....it is inconclusive. But, what isn't inconclusive to me is that, after that, the defender push the dribbler down. If it wasn't an illegal screen, it should have been a defensive foul.
