Kudos to the official whistling that with four seconds left.
Shame on the ex-UConn players who went on SportsCenter with SVP and called the call terrible. Clear rooting interest and biased as heck.

Too bad nobody actually uses a screen properly anymore...I was taught if you were using a screen, you rubbed shoulders with the player screening for you. When you make go wide of the screener, the screener is wasting their time or will chase the defender leading to a possible illegal screen. That was 30 years ago though.

I was taught the same thing 57 years ago.

While I wasn't a great scorer, I set great screens, and correctly used screens.

Knowing this helps me to anticipate possible illegal screens when I officiate.

I have been occasionally coaching for the last 10 years and always taught players to "scrape" the screener, much like rubbing shoulders. Locally, I can't get over how many players do not properly use a screen, especially off-ball. Beautiful, legally set screens are being completed wasted.
