Just a quick question about picks...if an offensive player sets a pick and a defensive player runs through the pick, is it a penalty

See
A.R. 24. B1 is playing A1. A1, running at full speed, cuts around A2, who had set
up a screening position. B1, while playing A1, contacts A2 violently. Has a foul been
committed by B1? RULING: No, if B1 was concentrating on A1. Yes, if B1 deliberately
ran into A2 (personal foul).
Same for NFHS.

As the official TLF LaxRef interpretor, let me distill that for you.
If the defender sees the pick coming and batters the picker, it is a personal foul, prolly Unnecessary Roughness.
If the defender is flying after the ball handler and has no clue that the pick is there and therefore slams into it like a speedboat onto the shoals, it's OK.
Use your best judgment on that call, IOW.
