Getting "blur" screens.

We've got a couple of teams in our area. We run a lot of cutter based movement offensive with multiple cutters heading in multiple directions. They are effectively creating what their coaches call "blur screens".

Its basically a crossing patter or pick play from football. Two players cut simultaneously and cross paths, they run into each other sometimes, sometimes the offense defenders run into on another sometimes offense/defense run into each other. Sometimes no one hits anyone but the confusion switching/spacing it gets a positive result for the offense. So sometimes its nothing, and sometimes its becoming an moving screen depending on the timing and who gets to who first.

Now this criss crossing action is happening almost every pass/play and we are trying officiate almost all these games 2 man. At least 2 or 3 times a game I know the defense is getting blasted by an illegal screen but never sure when its actually going to be an illegal screen. Between post play and on ball coverage in two person I just can't watch every cut.

Suggestions for officiating this type of action and picking it up more often in a 2 person game.
