Message: [QUOTE="stamfordhusky, post: 3841415, member: 649"] Geno said the ref said that "her stance was too wide when setting a screen". This is a very normal foul call and Geno knows it. I am puzzled by him talking about it. The only reason you don't see it called a lot is that every player knows they can't widen their stance while setting a screen. If he wants to complain, then say the ref's judgement was wrong and that she didn't take a wide stance. The rule book says this about screens: "In establishing and maintaining legal screening tactics, [B]the screener shall: [B]stay within their vertical plane with a stance in which the inside of the screener's feet are no wider than shoulder width apart. [/B][/B] The screener shall not lean into the path of an opponent or extend their hips into that path, even though the feet are stationary." [/QUOTE]
