Actually, Trae set the screen and fell back after making contact with WCS, his feet didn't even move so it wasn't a balance thing. A screen almost always involves contact, so he should suck it up and realize it's part of the game. If WCS had continued on his original line, then it would definitely have been called, but the screen worked in that it changed his direction and created separation for Trae's teammate. Thankfully the refs weren't fooled.
IF Trae is going to continue to play the game of taking charges and drawing fouls, then he better expect some blood and bruises. Some of these guys will take the offensive foul just to make you think twice about a hard screen later. LBJ is one that comes to mind. Love him or hate him, I'd still hate to be run over by him.
