I eon't think Nevada said it didn't happen. I think he said it's illegal. NBA plays aren't generally relevant to discussions here. This particular thread, eg, is regarding HS rules.

Gotta admit, that does sound more like a threat than I was hoping. No player should be contemplating physical violence

If you mean that literally, yea, the best refs better catch that! It's illegal and stupid.
If refs miss that kind of thing, they'll be back to JH in a flash.

The best refs out there do catch way more than half of it, or they don't keep their positions. The ref's job is to stop this kind of crap.

Coach should notify refs? No, refs should see the plays, and call the illegal blocks. Coaches should coach their players how to legally increase their opportunities to score and their skills in doing so.
