I don't know, I only saw it once and I wasn't watching the action of those players, I only saw the aftermath.

How about posting a clip of the play?

I don't have a clip, but you can see highlights of the game here, and the final play is towards the end.

Legal screen all the way.

Legal screen. Singler took 2-3 steps at the time Howard set the screen. Howard leaned into it anticipating hard contact. Just because the contact is severe doesn't make it a foul.

LOL. Sorry, but I gotta give you a hard time for this one, seeing as though you have no earthly idea what Howard's intent was on leaning into the screen. He could have just as easily been thinking "I gotta lay this guy out so my boy can get his shot off."

Well, either way, no way that call is being made minus a premeditated decapitation.

that wasn't Howard, that was Lawrence Taylor!!!


the earlier play with Haward and Thomas) should have been an intentional foul.
Congrats Duke, players of the game Thomas* and Zoubek.

So you're saying if it had been an illegal screen it wouldn't have been called?

Would you have called it in that situation if it was illegal?

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt on intent unless he shows me something different.

Rule says he gets at most two steps, he got that here. The only call here might be to the trainer.
