Mr. Colbrese's statements were directly related to a semi-final game a few years ago in which a blind screen led to one of the "best" player's in the State getting knocked out (literally and knocked out of the semi and final with a concussion)...things got really ugly after that...the kid who got hurt was the screener, and no foul was called - hence the "mandate from on high"...and no, I was not working that game!! just spectating...

I think there's a big difference between the screener getting knocked out (that obviously put the offense at a disadvantage -- should be a foul on the defense) and the defensive player getting knocked down from a legal screen(the defense is put at a disadvantage by a legal play -- should be a no-call)
