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.'
