Illegal Screen Mechanic

[JamieSlick]

I believe the correct signal for an illegal screen is the same signal you would give for a blocking foul. I usually point in the other direction, yell that way, then put both hands on my hips to indicate an illegal block. At the bench, colour, number, and again hands on the hips (unless of course you have an obvious push where the screener pushes with both hands or something like that). Depending on how badly the screen has been set, and I have seen some really bad ones, I may give an extra signal (chop to the head, chicken wing, trip, etc.) to make sure the coaches know what was done wrong. However, technically speaking I believe it is just simply both hands on the hips.
