I'm not so sure the illegal screen that was called was necessarily the everyone seems to think it is. There was another screen that occurred just outside the lane on the lead's side where the defender was trying to get out to the shot. The camera angle wasn't the best to see how much contact did occur there but is it possible that was the one called? (That is the one he should have been looking at).

We're looking at different plays! I only count 2 players in the L's primary at the whistle and they are not even engaged. There are 3 or 4 players weaving through the very top of the L's primary, but they all move through until just 2 are left when the whistle blows.

I see it now, Camron, but there's no way that's what he called. He never once looked at that kid. In fact, he walks right past that kid, staring at the kid on the opposite side of the lane to report.

And even if that was the screen he called, it wasn't a much better call than the one on the other side of the lane.

To me, it doesn't matter which call anyone is talking about. I don't see any illegal screen that I'd call from any position on the court.

After looking at it again, the only possible I.S. could be on 54 Red, and it's a piss-poor call, imho.

The Lead may not have had any competitive match-ups in his primary but his secondary look should have been to help the Trail off-ball once the play moved to the Trail's primary. The C only had 3 players, he shouldn't have needed any help.

The play you are referring to is nothing. The screen did not even impede the defender.

The play in question is the C's play although he still had a count as the player started to pass to the shooter. Looking at his head position, there is no way he saw the screen taking place only a few feet away clearly.

No, but it did reroute him.

The defender had to take a different and longer path to the shooter as a result. The only question which is not really clear form the video is how much contact there really was on that play. If there was contact that caused him go go around, then it should have been called. Unfortunately, it appears the lead was not looking where he should have been and we'll never know.

Did the contact reroute him or did the player reroute himself? That is my question.

I'm not even sure if there's contact. But say there was, I can't ever see that being called regularly at any high level of play.

+1

That is why I said, "rerouting himself." I am not convinced there was any contact and I am not convinced that any contact was the reason he took that route.

In order:

1- I don't have this as an illegal screen based on the evidence here and out of context.

2 - To me at best this is a marginal call at best so to make a marginal call outside of your area with lots going on in your own seems like a) a d-bag move to throw your partner under the bus b) something has occured earlier in the game to make the screening issue hyper sensitive


Based on what I'm seeing on the video the screener extends beyond his body. I don't see that any contact occurs that impedes or disadvantages. (from the angle of the video anyway).

In our area if that is an illegal screen you are going to be calling 25+ player control fouls a night.
