That's just reality for this particular situation.

To be called, it would also have to be an illegal screen that gave some kind of advantage to the screening team. This one didn't imo....legal or illegal. The player being screened wasn't really in a position to make a play on the dribbler and I also doubt very much in that situation that he wanted to get close enough to the dribbler to try anything anyway. The last thing in the world that he wants to do is take a chance on making contact from behind with a guy throwing up a 45-foot prayer.
Your point is well taken imo, Newz. Fwiw I agree that is the reality for that particular situation at that level.
