Game management situations are so the game does not get out of hand. The best example I can think of you have two players in the post grabbing and holding, you decide you are going to call fouls to clean it up. In other words you call fouls you might have allowed or that cannot be ignored because the players have raised up the intensity. This screen was just a hard screen. It took place because no one warned the defender there was a screen. The legality of the screen had little or nothing to do with game management. This is a play that would likely not happen again unless someone does not warn someone for another screen.

You said it yourself " Game management situations are so the game does not get out of hand." Watch the coach in the video and tell me that situation isn't heading south......
Using the scenario in the post that you described, game management is used to cease behaviors that lead to rough play, which you refer to as "cleaning it up."
