Illegal Screen or Not

[BLydic]

The screener definitely goes wide and creates enough contact to separate his player from the defender, so I don't have a problem with the call. The center needs to have the whistle here.

If I'm observing this game I'm finding the L on this play and asking him why he put a whistle on a play that was a good 15 feet outside of his PCA and in front of the C...especially when there were 4-5 players in the L's PCA when the whistle blew.

Was it a foul? Yes. The defender was bumped off his path and the C should've called it. However, the whole thing is blown apart for me by the L reaching that far to make a call in front of one of his partners that wasn't a felony.

Isn't the C a little too high? Where is the L?

Regarding the screen, not a huge IS in my opinion. However, I do think I pass on too many of these.

I think you have to let the C officiate in his area on this one. I don't see anything here for which I'd reach into my partner's primary to call.

I agree from the C it doesn't look huge...however, I am guessing from the L the way the player leans and uses his shoulder/elbow, it looks much different. Not a huge advantage, but I want this one. Again, the way the shoulder/elbow come into play this looks like one to get to keep it from getting rougher later..

IMHO

He's okay. 3 feet (i.e., one stride) on either side of the FT line extended is fine. Given where the action is he was in a good spot to see whatever happened.
