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.

If you don't think this particulair play (no call) could lead to a "situation getting out of hand" I feel sorry for you. Hard screen, player injured, tie ball game, second half = Sack up and call the damn foul or you are going to have a cluster @#$% for the next 13:00 minutes. You can't let it go and I challenge you to find any top D1 official who would think that's ok. The reason they would not think so is because your
Game Management just went down the toilet.
