Chip breaks down exactly why the Josh Hart screen on the Brunson dribble handoff was correctly called an offensive foul.
The rule is straightforward: once Hart sets his stationary position, he has to give Lou Dort at least one to two strides to stop or change direction. He doesn't give him even one.
And the contact point matters here too. It's thigh to thigh, not torso. Hart's head and shoulders are already past Dort, which is why you see Dort's legs go and he falls the way he does. He's actually dragging that left foot trying to decelerate.
Fans watch this and think Dort is just running him over. But this is exactly the kind of play that gets officiated consistently across the league on dribble handoffs. If the screener doesn't give a rapidly moving defender the required time and distance, it's an offensive foul. Every time. #shorts
