Illegal Screen? (video)

Could, should, would. Nonsense. You have an official looking at a screen AND a ball-handler and defender. So the two most important things are being looked at by one official while the other two do what? Lolligag, that's what.

This is the argument I expect to hear from coaches and athletic directors who think 3-person is a waste of $60, not from a thinking official.

You move to get the best look between the players. The best move here is a step or two UP, which you can't make when there's no L in position. The C holds his position when the L rotates over when it's the right thing to do, not 100% of the time. It's not bailing, it's using feet to improve the look, as Adam said.

Right. And I'm not waiting for the T to cross the division line. I'm going. The T can run right to the C position - he doesn't even need to stop.
