Also see NFHS case book play 10.6.3SitD. That's time and distance.

I thought it was just me. Everyone was talking like the defender was running full speed, and the screener cross body blocked her. The screener came down and planted in enough time, didn't throw a shoulder or forearm, and allowed the defender to run into her. The screener did what a screener is supposed to do.

My coaching point for the day is: 'Had the defender's teammate informed her of the screen she could have avoided it.'

My officiating point for this post is 'Had the defender's teammate informed her of the screen once the screener was stationary, she could not have avoided it.'

The screener has to be stationary and give the defender time to avoid the screen. That didn't happen. If a teammate had told her that there was a screener moving with her, then she could've avoided it. But the screener has to stop AND then give the defender that step.

in the real world this is a NO-CALL -- the amount of contact and how it was directed doesnt seem like little suzy will be setting that screen against that player anytime soon.

but besides the screen looked legal
