[QUOTE="Coach J, post: 5233624, member: 6018"]
I did rewatch it, he still set the screen - it would not have mattered much. I almost wonder if the staff actually teaches that figuring they will get away with it more times than not because he always does it - I disagree for several reasons

1.  The last thing we need is for our bigs to be in foul trouble.
2.  Those fouls count towards the bonus which we routinely were in earlier than our opponents all year long in both halves of most games, unlike the previous two years when it was the reverse.
3.  It can cost you not only made baskets, but potentially momentum not only for the team, but the player making the shot.

So in this instance with Johnson in the first half vs Florida it lead 5 negative events.

1. Taking 3 points off the board. 
2. Johnson picking up his 2nd personal.
3. Putting FL 1 foul closer to the bonus and double bonus.
4. Killing our team momentum and taking pressure off of Fl instead increasing it.
5. Maybe preventing Solo Ball from getting into a good rhythm.
