Make The Call: Illegal Screen

I saw that & still feel like the shooter in the corner would've been wide open anyway.
Just not enough for me... I prefer my off-ball calls to be bigger than that.

Away from the play, easy lay-off on this type of contact. But on the ball, to me, it's 50/50 and I'm thinking earlier plays may have influenced this particular call.

I hear ya! Yes, watching an entire game & then breaking down plays based on the game trumps breaking down a single play when we have no idea what occured previously. I'm not complaining, because some film is better than none. IJS

And I prefer getting the good ones like this so we can maybe avoid the "bigger" ones to begin with.

And all this talk about "marginal" contact (not from you, but in this thread) is driving me crazy. There's no such thing, contact is either "incidental" or "illegal," and the level of contact (from marginal to severe) often has nothing to do with whether it's illegal or not. This is a classic freedom of movement play, IMO.

Snaqs, in the conference that play came from there is most definitely "marginal contact" at play in discussions about fouls.
