My point is, that if someone gets laid out on a questionable screen. Everyone in the gym sees it.

And I completely disagree with your particular philosophy also.
Who gives a damn if the foul is on a star instead of an ordinary player? We're not working in the freaking NBA. Worrying about whether a star player is involved or not is as ridiculous as worrying about what a coach thinks about the call. And why should we also ever give a damn whether everybody in the whole gym saw it? Everybody in the whole gym...
except for the officials....wants the call to be made in favor of their team. They could care less whether the call was
right or not.
The only criteria needed to make the call is whether the block was legally set or not. If the player got laid out on screen that was legal, that's just too bad.
Nothing that you or mu4scott are talking about has got diddly-squat to do with game management in any way, shape or form imo. It's got everything to do with trying to avoid making a tough but correct call. Game management isn't involved in any way in this particular call. It's simply a matter of deciding whether the block was legal or not. If you think that the block was illegal, you just call the foul.
Sorry, but that's my opinion.
