Who's watching the screener

[zebraman]

I agree that it's more difficult in two-person. However, the lead is going to have to be watching that pick if the trail is on ball. If the offense is trying to rub off a pick at the foul line, that is probably the most competitive matchup. I'm not sure I completely understand the whole picture from your description, but it sounds as if they were trying to free the screener down the lane so I can't imagine that there would be "that much action" underneath because a post-up would ruin the cutter's lane.

Regardless, if you didn't pre-game this, you could have got together with your partner at the first opportunity and talked about it on the floor.

In two-person, the trail can't just be watching the ball matchup and nothing else. You have to ref "one play ahead" as well.
