Jrut... I'm talking about this play and no other. I don't give a crap what a coach thinks, but at the level I'm at and the level I'm striving to be at I had better be able to explain what I called. If not to the coach then to the assignor or commisioner of the conference. I wouldn't want to explain a no call or intentional in this situation.
I am not changing anything. I am trying to figure out why you and others care what a coach says about any play? This was your concern, not mine. And in this play I really give a damn what a coach thinks. Because the next screen might be completely legal and I might hear the next coach or the same coach complaining.

And if you call this intentional you are insane. Not only does this not fit anything in the rules that makes this intentional, you must have never seen the game of basketball. There is no way this could be intentional because the player was trying to set a screen, not take the player out. The screen was blind and if a teammate would have simply called out the screen, then the contact would have been minimal or non-existent at best. If I called that intentional or flagrant, I might not be talking very long to the supervisor. I would likely get fired or games taken away.

Peace
