Rough Play/Court Coverage

Watch along the near lane line as Grant from Dematha pushes through a marginal (open to discussion) illegal screen by Gonzaga #15. The important takeaway from this play is to discuss who is responsible for getting this play in a crew of three. The center is able to referee through his passive matchup and come and get this rough play that demands a whistle. Instead of pinching the paint, the lead should have stayed wider along the endline which would have given him a better chance of seeing this screening play develop and not be surprised by the contact. If C and L fail to recognize this type of play, the trail could have a whistle since he doesn't have any active or engaged matchups and should be officiating with a "big picture" mentality. Be sure to discuss officiating matchups and screening coverage principles during your pregames.
