Moving Screens - treetop11 - 03-08-2020
Watching both WBB and MBB, the moving screens (some fairly violent) are getting ridiculous. The refs call some but nowhere near what should be called. I don't like the inconsistency on when they are called; don't like the chances for player injury; and don't like how they disrupt flow of the game.
I would like to really crack down on these until players stopped doing so many. Don't assess a foul, just make a TO like a travel. Either that or they just ought to allow it like football blocking and let it all go the big redhead from OSU was unbelievable at doing so and never got called.

We don't need point guards, we don't need shooting guards, we need pulling guards...

I think she played 5 minutes against the Cardinal on Friday. She must have left an impression with her screening. Watched it on television so I didn't see how much movement Morris used when screening.

I don't have any insight on whether this is getting worse or not in WBB. But in last night's game against UCLA they called moving screens on BOTH sides--I think a couple of times each. It has been a while since I remember that happening--so much so that it made an impression on me.

I agree that moving screens are often missed (when I'm watching games at home, "moving screen!" is one of the most frequent things I yell in vain to my TV).
But this is really part of a more general problem for MBB (I don't watch enough WBB to comment on their officials). The officiating is inconsistent from game to game and from half to half within games, biased towards home teams and stars, and often terrible. Stanford does not have a lot of depth this year, and bad officiating has cost us games. And I see no improvement in the officiating from year to year. The game just moves too fast for the officials to get more than a slim majority of calls right, and that will not change.
I think that the only solution is AI, but that is probably decades away. They've only recently gotten to the point where a computer can call balls and strikes accurately in baseball. Basketball will be many orders of magnitude more difficult. So, unfortunately, we're going to be stuck with bad officiating for the foreseeable future.
