Blind Pick (T'wolves)

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...

Yabut, WAS it a foul? Or just strong incidental contact on a legal screen? [/B][/QUOTE]

From where I was sitting - yep...defender blasted the screener practically out of his shoes...made no effort to stop/go around/lessen impact/etc...those need to be called - he flat-*** plowed the screener, and then (like I said) the game got real ugly...
