I'm just as sure that when YOU see what to YOU is an obvious illegal screen you recognize it. Whether you call it or not is your issue.

That all sounds wonderful, but what you might think is "obvious" others might pass on. I know I call more illegal screens than most officials I work with. So it is clear that everyone does not think all screens are so "obvious." I know some call screens with very slight contact. I on the other hand I require more severe contact than I will not just call a foul when the player being screen just gives up his position. I have even had kids that wanted me to call an illegal screen, but never kept going to their spot. Not all officials seem to think all contact on screens cause an advantage the same way.
