SoBe, if that's your takeaway, then I don't think you are "hearing" the complaint properly.
People point to Pitt--justifiably so, IMO--because they get away with blatant moving screens. All. Game. Long.
I don't care whether our guys get called for it when they commit the infraction. But it drives me nuts when teams are allowed to set the screen and then move into the player to deter them without it being called, only to have a guy like Baye get called for an illegal screen by a referee halfway across the court, nowhere near the play, from 35 feet away while teams like Pitt do it with impunity all the time. And get away with it all the time.
I've never seen anybody claim that Pitt is the "only" one who is guilty of this, but they are blatant / chronic / flagrant offenders.
I heard the complaint fine and thanks for the lecture. It's also the same narrative from those who say Pitt and Louisville hold and grab on every possession and that is why we lose to them. Bunk. You need to have the guards to exploit that pressure instead of backing up and/or moving sideways. Just tired of it.
