2nd - illegal screen the only thing making contact is extended forearms

3rd - I don't have anything on the thrid one. Screener is set and braces himself never extends outside his vertical area. (imo). Very physical play but screener isn't doing anything illegal.

Agree with all of this. #1 has a wide stance but the wide stance isn't the problem, the contact occurs with the torso primarily, so I would agree with the no call.

I think the second one is the most clearly illegal and I don't see how you could pass on it. Forget the arm activity, the screeners right leg extends and trips the defender. How are the forearms the only thing making contact when the right leg clearly trips the defender?

The 1st and 3rd I can see room for debate.

The 1st play I would lean toward being illegal followed by a clear blocking foul on the 2nd defender. Hard to believe they had no whistle on that play.

The 3rd play I would lean toward legal.

The first one is illegal.

The second one looks illegal, but like others have said, it's a bad camera angle.

The third one is legal.

1. A2's feet are too wide, BUT the B1 does not contact A2's legs. Rather, he blows through A2's torso. For this reason, I say "legal" screen.

2. "Illegal". A2's arms are up at chest level with slight extension at contact. That's a no no.

3. "Legal". Tough to see the slight hip movement. Time and space seem to be fine. Defender was given one full step.
