Actually the NBA calls more illegal screens than I see called at most other levels.
Honestly, a lot of things get called in NBA games that I almost never see called regularly at high school games. High school officials often talk about not "being there very long" and are worried about the length of their games and getting to the bar. I do not think the NBA officials really care about how long their game takes in the same fashion.
There is this big myth that high school we are so pure and righteous in the way we call the game.
