Cardwell just used his fat ass to move a Florida defender all the way across the lane and created a clear path for the guard to drive unabated to the rim. He’s not the only one, many do it and I wonder why it’s not considered a moving screen and called as a foul? Is it not?
How is the “clear out” NOT called as a moving screen?

Infuriating. Washington from A&M must’ve done it 5–6 times to our bigs for Taylor to get to the hoop.
Happened to us all season. If they're going to make more points of emphasis, this absolutely must be towards the top
Notice how the teams still playing have bigs that are scoring. That will keep us from going very far, guards can win games alone with no offense from your big men in the NCAA tournament.
It’s a bit of a grey area in the rules. There’s a little plausible deniability where big guys can claim they’re sealing off to be in position to receive a pass inside when they do it right under the rim. I’ve definitely noticed it more recently where some of these guys are going over the top with it and backing their man away from the basket not even pretending to something other than clear a driving lane. I think it’s something that needs to be looked at in the offseason rule tweaks that usually happen.
I have noticed this throughout the season as well. My take is it should be a timing issue, if you are sealing before the drive takes place then that is fair game. However if you make contact with the post defender after the offensive player has started his drive that should be a moving screen.
It is a moving screen, and should be called as such, but it is not.
And most times they have been in the lane for 7-10 seconds, which is “supposed to be” a violation.
The three second rule has gone the way of the traveling call. Seems to be non existent in todays game as well.
And it hadnt really bothered me that much, until they started taking advantage of it and acting like offensive linemen blocking for a running back, lol .
I was just about to say - and the Aggies did it at least 5-6x the other day, always resulting in an uncontested layup.
