During the first year NFHS adopted the team control foul rule, we had a MS Girls game (away) where one of our players was called for an illegal screen and the official wanted to shoot the bonus. Home scorer was a B-game player so I just asked the official after he announced the bonus "Isn't an illegal screen a team control foul?" I could see the light bulb turn on and he realized that there were no free throws.
Even when approiached politely, some are recpetive, and some aren't. *shrugs* There's not much one can do in the latter case.
