Help me out here. When did an illegal screen become a violation? And what is the signal for an illegal screen? Just a question. :D

Peace

it isn't a violation? your right! i thought i saw it in the violations part of the signals in the rule book.... but an illegal screen is a foul?

what would it constitute? a foul maybe?


and i am assuming there is no signal for an illegal screen (just the TC)...right?

An illegal screen is a foul. If it is by the offense (and it almost always is) then the TC signal normally applies. But you still need to report the type of foul. Normally it'll be a block, but sometimes can be a hold or a push.

May I suggest you go study up on NFHS 4-40

He Also Likes To Call Personal Fouls During Dead Balls ...
 

Maybe you missed it, but this is one of those Southern California officials that will be working a full NCAA Division I schedule in three years.

Just to add to BITS' excellent response.

Make sure there's illegal contact before you call a foul. The screener can be moving all they want if there's no contact; and there's nothing to call. Further, not all contact is illegal.

howd you know BMac?! have fun doing girls jv this year ;)

An illegal screen could be a push, hold, block depending on the action. But I was just wondering what the signal you referred to is?

Peace

Do You Know The Way To San Jose ???
 

Been there (junior varsity, not San Jose). Done that. We all have to start somewhere. We have all learned from our mistakes. I still do.

San Jose is most definitely not in Southern California.

:) i thought i was the only one who noticed he said Southern California haha


il give you a clue to where in California San Jose is located.... Silicon Valley ;)

Boy am I embarrassed ...
 

I was thinking about this at work today. The "Spanish sounding" name threw me. Isn't San Jose near San Francisco, another "Spanish sounding" name?

In that case I guess that he won't be getting a full NCAA Division I schedule in only three years.

Sure, it is "Spanish sounding". You might be interested to know that, at times, Mexico include all of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah. I've even seen a map that included areas up to Montanna.

Also, Spaniards were there too....before it was part of Mexico..well before these places became part of the US. San Francisco is a Spanish (from Spain) name, not Mexican.

The "Spanish sounding" cities that get you to D1 in 3 years are Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara.

So, if you're in Oceanside you're outta luck?

No, b/c you can claim to live in a suburb of San Diego when you fill out your resume'. :D
