No competent referee ever blew a whistle and called a moving screen foul. (They'd have a hard time living it down.) Only sports announcers and pickup game artists use the term.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162782514616528801.post-49948525355690839222009-02-07T14:10:00.000-06:002009-02-07T14:10:00.000-06:00how 'bout quitting b-ball and taking up skiing.... you are in canada, after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162782514616528801.post-54422389271671647862009-02-07T14:06:00.000-06:002009-02-07T14:06:00.000-06:00Indeed, what a pleasure.
