How is it an unnatural postion, you are in no different body position than your are receiving a pass? How can it be unnatural?

I think you're envisioning a entirely different pose than the rest of us.

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.

Jeez I was just searching for some help on screening and got myself all wrapped up in Barbara Eden and unnatural squats.

As opposed to Barbara Eden and natural squats?

From what I can see, this would be an illegal screen.

But I would want to see it again. And again.

Just a quick question that I didn't think deserved it's own thread. But what type of foul is an illegal screen? Player control or blocking or what?

As a former resident of Cocoa Beach, I feel it my duty to ask this board to refrain from any I Dream of Jeannie references that may be considered derogatory. Squats, whether natural or unnatural, were never part of Jeannie's personna. I ask that the Decency/Thought police step in and expunge those naughty images from everyones imagination.

Good luck with that.
