Lightbulb Displacement.

Not only does their have to be contact, there has to be displacement. Basketball is a contact sport and if all we require is contact, we might be calling something that does not even constatue a foul.

How many times do we see a defender, hold up or slow up before they run into a screener? And when that screener just gets in the way, the defender never tries to go thru that screen? Now if the defender keeps moving and basically is blocked out of the way, I have no problem with a foul call. But most of the time I see a player just give up his position and decides not to move because the screen is in front of him. To me that is never a foul. Or at least not a good one.

Now that terminology was in the POE last year.

Peace
