Foul or incidental contact?
I have an example from my game a couple weeks ago. My guy goes to set a screen for the ballhandler, the ball handler gives a fake, but drives away from the screen. The defender goes for the fake, makes contact with my guy setting a screen. He gets called for an illegal screen. I agree that my guy was not completely set when contact was made, so if he used the screen, I would have agreed with the call. The way it went down, I thought it was incidental contact. Your thoughts?

This is really a HTBT situation. I can see why a foul was called, but hard to say for sure without seeing the play.
Peace

Since there's actually no foul that's called an illegal screen, your player was called for a blocking foul. It makes no difference whether the dribbler "used the screen" or not. If your player as moving and blocked the defender's path, that's a foul.

Also, doesn't the defender's path have to be a path that affects the play? Otherwise, couldn't I simply tell my guys to run into moving offensive players and I'll get a foul call? Last edited by Coach Bill; Wed Jul 02, 2014 at 11:31pm. |

I love this site. During the games I'll say to myself, I gotta remember that play and see what the guys say about this.

Tough to decide from a written description.
Screens do not have to be anywhere near the player with the ball. This could be an example of an illegal off-ball screen or it could be a defender illegally contacting a cutting offensive player. These are the difficult judgment decisions officials must make hundreds of times during games. I wish that I could offer the coach more feedback, but some plays just come down to what a particular person sees and thinks at a certain point in the game. |

Screens ...
Quote:
The blocking foul is called due to illegal contact (block) as described as illegal activity in the principles of screening.

I'd prefer it termed it "blocking", which explains why that's the signal I most frequently use cuz it makes sense. Though this citation might not actually address the original post...

If you're going to keep coming back you need to start videotaping these games!
