Any coach that has an IQ higher that a kumquat should then be telling their players to fall down as soon as they feel the contact when they set a screen. All you gotta do is set picks all over the floor on the other team's best player until you foul them out. And, of course you remind the officials everytime one of your players goes down that Mr. Colbrese said that you gotta call a foul on that play. Can't blame the coach, either, if they use that stategy. Helluva way to run a railroad though, Z. I say that even though I know that you gotta call it whether or not you like it, or agree with it, because of the politics involved.
In reality what happens is that the players adjust. The communication becomes real good, real quick ("pick on the right!") and they stop before contact. Similar to a good PC call at the beginning of a game... you don't see out-of-control drives after that.
