To make matters worse it was the defense that committed the foul - it wasn't an attempt at a screen. It was a blatant push or a block, but for some jumbled reason I yelled illegal screen. Sinking deeper into the whirlpool, I even reported it as an illegal screen with a block signal. My partner even came to me and said "she's on defense Tony."

I'm with Dan on this one. Why does being on defense mean you can't commit an illegal screen? Defenders screen all the time, and it's either legal or illegal. Illegal screen is a good, short, accurate description to a coach of a certain play. Isn't it??
If that particular play wasn't an illegal screen, you can still sound fine if you signal a push, and say "Coach, she pushed her on the way past." Or whatever. Or, block would be a reasonable signal to the table. Wouldn't it??
What am i missing here?
