after watching the ncaa tournament Alabama needs to learn the art of a moving screen. Its not really an art though. Just do it. They just do not call that in the ncaa tournament.
And, we need a post player that can rebound and hold his ground when they let a huge big man just back his way in to the goal. The rules committee needs to either enforce too much time in the lane, or get rid of the rule entirely.

They have to do something about the shuffle hedge screen. The one where the center comes out and just moves back and forth in front of the defender as the offensive player works behind him.

Agreed. When you let absolutely massive guys like Clingan and Edey just throw an anchor down underneath the basket and stay there for the entire possession they don't even have to play basketball. They just have to be patient.

I watched a lot of basketball this year and I can't remember seeing a 3-second call made a single time, despite the fact that players (our own sometimes included) were regularly hanging out in the lane for 5-10 second stretches. I thought maybe they had eliminated the rule, but no, it's still on the books. They have just stopped calling it, for whatever reason. It changes the game completely.
