I don't think that locking your arms in the manner described qualifies as extension or partial extension of your ams. |

Then why ask the question, if all you do is ignore the answer? That is the rule book, it's clear that 1. locking your arms in front of your body is extending your arm other than vertical, so what's to interpret? 2. feet wide, leaning back in a squat, with your arms locked several inches in front of the body is not a natural position, because you are bending your body in an unnatural way...again both fall completely under the no-no's in 10.6.1. If I'm coaching against your team, my defenders will be contacting that illegal technique all game long, drawing one foul after another. |

OK
How is crossing your arms on your chest vertical??? I read extension as extending the elbow. And the elbow is not extended. How is it an unnatural postion, you are in no different body position than your are receiving a pass? How can it be unnatural? |

touching their chest
Unless their arms are touching their chest or stomach while they are crossed, they are extended even if ever so slightly......illegal

another point
Here is one I have seen and heard coaches, and even a few officials use....if it isn't called it is legal....using that logic, and I agree with it, if it is called it is ILLEGAL....so there you have it, illegal LOL

I read the description to be that the upper arms are pointed directly away from the body (with the elbows out) and the forearms are folded back in, toward the chest.

I see the I Dream of Jeanie pose, with arms out from the shoulders, arms crossed with hands on opposite biceps...although Barbara Eden wasn't in an unnatural squat. But what part of the arm that is out isn't really important, because by rule ANY PART being extended other than vertical is illegal if contact hinders an opponent, which is the entire purpose of a screen. |

From what I can see, this would be an illegal screen. But I would want to see it again. And again.

I coached girl's varsity for 10 years and always told them if they didn't want to get called for illegal screen to stand with feet shoulder width apart, arms at sides - touching their shorts. It worked. We didn't have many calls against us for illegal screens and the ones we had - the girls would look at me and tell me they weren't set or something. No one got hurt either.
