Recognizing and Calling a Push-the-Screener Foul

This video highlights the trail official's effective positioning and focus in detecting a push-the-screener foul during a spread offense play. With offenses frequently running five-out or high screen setups, officials must adapt their coverage to prioritize competitive matchups over non-competitive ball areas. Here, the trail official successfully maintains focus on the primary action area, catching a common yet often-missed foul. This clip serves as a valuable reminder for referees to prioritize competitive matchups and action areas, ensuring that critical fouls are accurately identified and called.
