There is a good quote that I write everywhere I go and it is: "players decide the outcome of games through legal actions, not illegal actions which an official chooses to ignore."
I do agree with the principle of being careful on screens way away from the ball.

Instead of me answering News' post, put me down as agreeing with the above. The only addition/clarification might be that screens away from the ball still have to adjudicated by advantage/disadvantage, not ignored. If that off-ball illegal screen breaks someone open for a clear path to the hole and an easy pass for 2, you gotta call it.
