It isn't playing for me but I'm pretty sure Arizona was called for a foul when his jersey was ripped...

Tobe used 2 hands, drove the TCU-ligan back from just above the FT line toward under the rim. I don't blame the kid for trying to get Tobe's meat hooks off him.

It did secure an open lane for Koa to blast through.

This was much like a big Offensive Guard taking a Safety in the box for a 15 yard ride down field on a Screen Pass opening a hole for a RB to blast through untouched. Koa Peat being like a RB you don't want to have to get in there and tackle at full speed.

The clip doesn't show if anyone was called for a foul, but it looked like play stopped.

The jersey was "gone". At least the front part. So, KC, no 6 pack Abs for you to see.

But in the end, it was a nice moving screen and I hope to see more of them because refs can't call them all. Tobe should never dim his light so that others can see where they are going.

Tobe should always shine bright at what he does.

Absolutely.  As long as he and Krivas are healthy, they need to continue setting those secondary picks, deep in the paint.  The only "frustrating" moving-screens are the ones at the top of the key, which are completely unnecessary because players aren't completely set, which is a fundamental/learning issue.

Hang that ripped jersey in the Louvre.
Actually, put it on display at McKale.

Bill would have said Tobe was the Statue of David reborn as poetry in motion within the history of the known quantumverse, nanoverse, and all of the beyod.

RIP Bobby Weir

Bill would have pointed out that it is disgraceful for a winner of the genetic lottery like Tobe to have to sit in a little chair during breaks.
