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?

It could be any of the above depending on whether the screener had the ball and the specific action. It's most often a block.

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.

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.

No? Why do you think he's got that goofy grin??

Dr. Bellows often wondered the same thing. Cause he's Major Nelson...he ALWAYS had a goofy grin. It had nothing to do with Jeannie's squats.
