Tough Call 1: Besiktas Icrypex v EWE Baskets Oldenburg - Screening

Black 17 gives a hand-off pass and sets a screen. There is a contact with White 15 and the referee calls a team control foul for illegal screening. Article 33.7 Legal screening is when the player who is screening an opponent: Was stationary (inside his cylinder) when the contact occurred. Had both feet on the floor when the contact occurred. If the opponent is in motion, the elements of time and distance shall apply. The screener must leave enough space so that the player who is being screened is able to avoid the screen by stopping or changing direction. The distance required is never less than 1, and never more than 2, normal steps. A player who is legally screened is responsible for any contact with the player who has set the screen. Outcome: Incorrect decision from the referees. The screen set by Black 17 was legal. White 15 had enough distance to avoid the screen and he decided to bump into the screener in order to simulate that he had been fouled.
